Scalloped Potatoes

I am looking for a recipe for homemade scalloped potatoes made from scratch. --Sandie
Hi Sandie, “Scalloped potatoes” traditionally refers to sliced potatoes that are layered in a creamy sauce and baked, but lately they have also taken on the meaning of a cheesy potato casserole. So I’ve got a couple of more traditional scalloped potato recipes you’ll want to try: The traditional Scalloped Red Potatoes is a simple baked dish of potatoes, butter and milk. Pretty Potato Scallop Surprise is a little more involved; the creamy potatoes are speckled with celery, onion and pimiento. Confetti Scalloped Potatoes has Cheddar cheese and a topping of crushed crackers; however, it uses frozen hashed brown potatoes and cream of celery soup, so it is not really “from scratch.”  In addition,  you might want to check out these from-scratch cheesy dishes that could also be considered “scalloped potatoes”: Au Gratin Potatoes Classic Potatoes au Gratin  Herbed Cheese Potatoes Smoky Mountain Potatoes Hope this helps!

    I need to make a potato bake and have never made one before. I think I can make it with cream, cheese, bacon, and thinly sliced potatoes, but not sure how to assemble or if I cook the potatoes before baking. Please help!

    Hi Betty! My grandmother used to make black-eyed peas on New Year’s – for good luck, she said. Do you have a recipe? Or any other suggestions for traditional “good luck” New Year’s dishes? --Susan

    No tip. No question. Just that your recipes and tips remind me of my mother. She must be thinking about me. Thanks,
