Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Mmmmm, fantastic! Because I'm on a calorie-reduced diet, I reduced the amount of cheddar cheese to 1 cup and used a low fat cheese. That gave significant calorie savings without sacrificing too much of the flavour. One other suggestion is to top with some browned turkey bacon and serve with a salad to make this a complete meal.

This is a wonderful recipe. Easy to do, quick (if you use the oven method)and flavorful. Can be adapted to things on hand. A layer or two of sliced onions changes the taste. Guests have requested this dish when they know I am cooking. A keeper!

I would have never thought of scalloped potatoes in the crockpot.I added ham chunks for a main dish.Yummy.

I did make a butter flour paste first before adding milk based on other reviews...it turned out perfect....we enjoyed them very much.

This being the first time I've had scalloped potatoes since I was a kid 20 years ago, I don't have a basis for comparison. However, aside from time-consuming preparation, these were easy to make, and were pretty tasty. Next time I would definitely add some kind of meat (bacon or ham) and some onions to jazz it up a little, but otherwise, I'd leave it as is. I had servings of it, and so did my boyfriend. I did take mine out of the oven after 1 hour and 20 minutes though as the tops were looking plenty crispy and the sample slice I pulled out of it was cooked through.

I scaled this back for 4-5 serves but had to double the half-and-half (in my case hi-lo milk mixed with cream) and add about an extra 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese (didn't use parmesan) to cover. If making again I would add some crispy cooked bacon and some spring onion and would always use the paprika. Also took 45 to cook at 175C fan forced oven (I had 3 layers of potatoes thinly sliced). Thank you GrandmalsCooking.

I made this in the crockpot and wasn't entirely pleased with the results. However, I didn't follow the recipe exactly, adding some diced ham. The sauce was thinner than I expected and quite bland (despite the ham). I think this would be better if baked in the oven.

I made this recipe on 5/24/09 as part of mine and SO's dinner. I made as written for the oven except for the following, Yukon Gold potatoes were used and I didn't peel them. I don't know if using the Yukons made a difference or not, but the recipe just didn't turn out for us.But, thank you for taking the time to " Adopt " an orphaned recipe. :)

Great simple recipe, tastes like what my grandma used to make. Added some leftover ham and some thinly sliced onions. My husband gave it rave reviews.

Loved these! The simplicity of the recipe is how I usually make mine and you get the nice potato flavor without a bunch of other ingredients. I easily halved the recipe and used Land O Lakes fat free half and half for the liquid and skipped the parmesan. Baking time was about 70 minutes. Will definitely use this recipe again, thanks!

Boring. Even with the addition of an onion. I cooked it on low for 5 hours and the outside edge burned (may be just my crockpot). I don't think I will ever make this again. Which is sad because I had high hopes for it.

Awfully bland and boring. There really was no cheese flavor, or any for that matter. Easy to make, just needs some tweaking.

These potatoes turned out really well. I added garlic powder about 1 tbsp, and 1 cup of broccoli. I mixed the milk, flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and broccoli in a bowl first so they were well combined. Then I layered the potatoes, covered them with the milk mixture and sprinkled the cheese on top. I did this in 4 layers, keeping a little extra cheese for the top. I cooked them covered for the first hour then uncovered them to let the cheese crisp up. They were cooked to perfection, we really enjoyed them. Even my kids gobbled them up. Thanks, I will make these again :)

we made this as the recipe is written, not making any changes.. apparantly we read the directions wrong, and didn't do several layers. My husband said that he was a bit confused if he should just do the layering once or over and over. With the cheeses just on top it created a cheese cover and hardly any melted down. My husband wouldn't eat it, but I did. I think had it been mixed up or something it would've been way better.

I made these potatoes for our annual Christmas party and they were a hit. Everyone was asking for the recipe. They were very cheesy & the potatoes were done to perfection. I didn't change anything in the recipe. I followed it exactly. This will be made often in this house & for other parties in 2008. Thanks for sharing.

This is a very good side dish! I didn't peel my spuds and shot them through the salad shooter so they were all sliced the same thickness. I used fat free half and half and fat free cheese too. I also used the oven method and sprayed my casserole dish with Pam first. (The directions didn't say to.) I took a picture but it didn't turn out too pretty. Next time I'm going to make these in the crock pot. Thanks! :)

I'm not sure what I did wrong but my potatoes were still "crunchy". We liked the flavor and the creamyness (is that a word?) but they never got soft. I tried to put them back in for a bit but didn't work. I am not giving up on this recipe though.....I will review again after the next time. Sorry I couldn't give more stars, maybe next time....Stephanie
