Does anyone have a good scalloped potato recipe? Mom used to make hers with lots of cheese, but I don't know the rest of it. Online recipes are confusing me.
This is the recipe that I use for scalloped potatoes. I prefer it with the ham mixed in. The version that you are talking about seems to be Potatoes Au Gratin which is similar to Scalloped Potatoes but with lots of cheese.
Scalloped Potatoes
2 lbs. potatoes
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
2 ½ cups milk
1 tbsp butter
Preheat oven to 350°F. Peel and slice potatoes thinly (4 cups). Put 3
tbsp butter in a small saucepan and melt over low heat. Stir in flour,
salt and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is
smooth and bubbly. Remove from heat and stir in milk. Heat to boiling
while stirring constantly. Continue stirring as mixture boils for one
minute. Arrange potatoes in 2 qt. casserole dish in three layers, topping
each layer with one third of the white sauce. Dot with one tbsp butter.
Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350°F for 30 minutes. Remove
aluminum foil and continue baking for an additional hour. Let stand 5
to 10 minutes before serving.
Note:
Even better if pieces of ham are mixed in with the layers of potatoes
before baking.
