If you do not have Parmesan cheese on hand, you can substitute Swiss cheese instead. You will save money and create a family pleaser that gives the scalloped potatoes an extra tang.

You can save about 5 minutes of cooking time by cutting the potatoes into 1/2-inch- thick slices instead of cubing them.
