scalloped potatoes....

13 years ago

might be one of my top ten favorite foods. I was happy to see heavy cream in my fridge after I got back from spending the weekend with my daughter and grandson. That means--scalloped potatoes for dinner tonight. Probably ribeyes, too. And a veggie or two.

Congratulations on the 6 pounds, Linda.

Scalloped potatoes sound good to me too, I love 'em. I don't make them very often, though, I'd better do that soon!

How far ahead can I assemble scalloped potatoes?

Raw potatoes will turn dark if not submerged into a liquid....or slightly precooked. You can prepare ahead if all the potatoes are "under milk" or partially cooked. I would partially cook the potatoes, slice and assemble the dish, then cook.....and remember that a really big dish can take a long time to cook or even heat up if it's been refrigerated. Linda C

Well, Easter's gone now, but Tyler Florence's Ultimate Gratin recipe is the bomb. It's got scalloped potatoes and cabbage, which doesn't make it taste cabbage-y, but instead gives it a texture and flavor addition that's out of this world. Too bad I didn't see this before Easter!

My grandmother kept her family alive by running a boarding house for boys in a university town during the Depression. She made scalloped potatoes in a frying pan -- par boiling the sliced potatoes in water, then pouring off the water before adding the milk, flour and seasoning, bringing it all to a near boil and simmering until done. My mother used to make this. It was less 'starchy' due to draining the water off. If we had ham or cheese, it went into the mix -- reducing the need for salt. I can't remember when the onions went in, and I don't remember them being diced, just thinly sliced.

My men's group recipe for a crowd is a Sandra Lee-ish recipe (dump and embellish). I get six boxes of the dried $1 potato mixes, then I boil the water/milk/butter mixture and pour over the potatoes in a large deep oven pan. Let it sit for an hour for the spuds to rehydrate. I always add an extra container of dry ranch dressing. Then bake as per directions, and then remove from oven. Spread shredded cheese liberally over top and bake for another 15 minutes (to allow for melting).. remove and let sit a few minutes before portioning/serving. Never goopy. Always rave reviews and people ask for it again ... Usually make two big pans (12 boxes) so there's plenty for my servers ...

I love them too and now have a craving!

This weekend I'm doing a ham for Easter, I think scalloped potatoes will be the perfect side although mac and cheese has been requested...what the heck no such thing as too much starch, I'll do both!

Scalloped potatoes rank right up near the top for me too. Especially when made with cream. Enjoy!

Congrats on the weight loss, Linda.

Sometimes you just have a craving and all the ingredients to satisfy it. If you ignore it, the cravings get stronger. lol

Thanks, Ann. Doesn't cream just give them the most delicious texture?

Come join me, Annie!

I haven't even begun to decide about Easter dinner. Yikes. I have made lamb a couple of times and that might be the main course. Hmmmmm

Lisa, would you share your recipe or how you make them because I don't think I have ever made good scalloped potatoes.

Love scalloped potatoes. So many good variations out there. The basic recipe (the way mom made them) is always satisfying. I served this recipe for T'day day a few years ago and it was hit.

I love potatoes any old way. That is except baked. And adding cream to anything kicks it up to the top notch!

I just noticed this version of scalloped potatoes on the Homesick Texan blog. Haven't made them (yet) but they do sound interesting. I'm not a fan of blue cheese although a few small crumbles can amp up a cheesy dish. But the 4 oz called for in this recipe would be enough to last me most of a lifetime!

Lisa, I'd just love to! I'm sure my family would understand that I didn't make Easter dinner, as long as I brought back lobsters and scalloped potatoes, LOL.

I think I might make scalloped potatoes for Easter, now that you've reminded me!
