Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes

Recipes »  Side Dish  »  Potatoes

The best, richest scalloped potatoes you've ever tasted.

"Really delicious and comparatively easy to make. One of the highlights of our Christmas dinner this year.

Other recipes I've used in the past suggest par-boiling the potatoes, which wasn't necessary in this case, with the potatoes sliced nearly exactly 1/8th of an inch thick. Be sure to slice all the potatoes very consistently. Only modification of this recipe was a near doubling of the amount of cheese, by adding an equal amount of Emmanthaler cheese to the Gruyere, above. Terrific, and will make again." - stevemur

    Delicious! Added extra cheese and more garlic...the family loved it!

    After a little tweaking, this was a great recipe. The first thing I did was add ham (between the layers of potatoes and cheese), as I'm sure many others have as well. I also doubled the amount of cheese, and as I'm not familiar with Gruyere, I made my own blend: parmesan, shredded monterey jack, and shredded cheddar. It is now a new family favorite!
