"My mother asked me to bring scalloped to Thanksgiving dinner. This is my usual recipe. It's really easy to make. When I first started making it DD asked me to add chopped broccoli to it next time. When she's home I do just that. It adds a nice bit of colour and flavour to this dish. If you use your food processor to slice the potatoes and chop the onions, preparation is a breeze. Found in Anne Lindsay's Lighthearted Everyday Cooking."

  1. Did anyone else have issues with the flour? After baking this dish, there were clumps of flour all throughout the potatoes. Maybe I needed to add more milk?

  1. I really don't care what you call it, it's still a 'rose'. Let's not get bent out of shape over the name and focus on food. This recipe is easy to prepare, very tasty and well worth an open minded try. My only suggestion is to be careful about putting the cheese on too soon. Too long of a bake can ruin the texture.

    missystry

  2. I have a serious issue with this recipe and it absolutely nothing to do with the recipe itself. My issue is with the name of it. I would expect food.com to know that this is a recipe for potato au gratin (WITH CHEESE) and NOT Scalloped Potatoes which is made without cheese and with milk sauce in France called Bechamel. It's one of the basics. Am I being picky? I suppose that I am. It's just that a supposed expert food network should know the difference and automatically edit the name. BTW, good idea for T-Day. I will try it and let you know how it is.

  3. After reading the reveiws I came up with a great idea to solve the dispute and enjoy the most amazing rich and creamy dish (with a little extra work). Layer of potatoes then layer of sautéd onions and garlic with salt lots of fresh pepper nutmeg and rosemary. On top pour bechamel (white sauce- melt three tbsp butter add three tbsp flour stir a minute add milk or cream 2 cups remove from fire stir in cheese and add if needed salt. Make three layers ending with white sauce on top sprinkle crushed crackers and butter slivers or black and white sesame seeds. Bon appetit !!!

  4. this is a great way to do Scalloped Potatoes....I omit all the flour and hot milk and just put some Cream of Mushroom soup...it works and is fantastic...especially with ham or peameal (back) bacon, and lots of cheese in the slow cooker....mmmmm think it's Scalloped Potatoes tomorrow - I cook them about 7 hours on low.....soooo good

  5. Five stars for ease in prep. but three for directions. I halved it but still used the full amount of flour The recipe does not say why you divide the cheese just that you sprinkle it on top, so half went between layers. Also, you should never sprinkle the cheese on so early, it should go on at the last few minutes of baking or you will have dried up cheese. Just some tips for new cooks! Made for I RECOMMEND, 2012
