Scalloped Potatoes Vs Au Gratin Potatoes? What’s The Difference?

Honestly, no one really knows for sure anymore. We Americans have managed to blur the lines pretty good on this one. Both recipes generally call for sliced potatoes in a cream sauce and topped with bread crumbs. The difference is that Scalloped Potatoes usually don’t have cheese and Au Gratin Potatoes do. But, American’s have started adding cheese to Scalloped Potatoes as well, thus they blur line.

And why do they call them Scalloped Potatoes? It comes from England in describing how thin they cut the potatoes.

What Is The Best Potatoes For Scalloped Potatoes

I’d use Russet or Yukon Gold Potatoes. But the most important thing is to make sure you are slicing them thin. Use a mandoline slicer to make the job easy!
