This is a very good mild scalloped potatoes recipe. I used 4 red potatoes. I greased my casserole dish and followed the rest of the recipe exactly except I baked it at 375 for 45 minutes and then another 30 minutes at 400. All in all it was very creamy and delicious. The green beans were pretty on top but were overcooked so next time I'd mix them in. I would also add some garlic or anchovies for more flavor. It is very impressive that you just made this up one night! Made for PAC Spring 2007.
