Scalloped Potatoes Recipe
One thing that I love about this Scalloped Potatoes Recipe is that you can make it all in one skillet and then just bake it in your casserole dish. Let’s face it, if you are cooking for the holidays, you will probably be using your kitchen to it’s maximum potential. I love how little cleanup this recipe will require!
Just about any holiday meal with call for SOME sort of potato dish, whether is is mashed potatoes, potatoes au gratin or scalloped potatoes, you really can’t go wrong.
By the way… What is the difference between Au Gratin and Scalloped Potatoes?
Honestly, no one really knows for sure. 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 blurry line.
We have taken the liberty of blurring it even more by NOT adding bread crumbs to this particular recipe to make a lower carb version. We will be making a TRADITIONAL Scalloped Potato recipe on our blog soon, keep an eye out for that!
Other Notes and Tips
Make sure you cut your potatoes into thin enough slices so that they get cooked all the way through. Is there anything worse than an undercooked potato? No. No there is not!
