Hi purelife......just playing catch up, and noticed you're looking to make scalloped potatoes. (MMMMM) Simple and yummy. I found this recipe on-line, and it's the closest to how I make mine. I don't scald the milk though. And if you're using 1% milk, I'd replace at least 1/4 cup of the milk with half and half or cream. You can add whatever you like to make it interesting. Some chives, garlic, onion sliced really thin....parsley.....bacon bits....whatever strikes your fancy.
A basic scalloped potatoes recipe baked in the oven. 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes, about 6 to 8 medium potatoes
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons butter
2 cups scalded milk
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
[H4]PREPARATION:[/H4] In a buttered 2-quart baking dish, place a layer of about 1/3 of the potatoes. In a cup or small bowl, combine flour with salt and pepper. Sprinkle about half of the flour mixture over the potatoes; repeat with another layer of potatoes and the flour mixture and top with remaining potato slices. Dot with butter then pour hot milk over potatoes. Cover and bake at 375° for 45 minutes. Uncover; sprinkle cheese over the top. Return to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15 minutes, or until scalloped potatoes are tender and cheese has melted. Scalloped potatoes serves 6 to 8.
