  1. This is a wonderful classic. It is the same recipe I've used for years. It's a huge family favorite. We made it tonight to go with ham. I always grease the casserole with butter before layering the potatoes, then I salt and pepper each layer of potatoes and onion slices, and put a few dabs of butter between the layers, too. A trick I've learned is to pre-cook this in the micro-wave for about 10 - 15 minutes before finishing in the oven. It shortens the cooking time. I keep it covered in the oven until the potatoes are fork tender and then continue uncovered until the cheese sauce is golden brown and bubbly.
     
  2. The trick to perfect scalloped potatoes is blending the flour and milk before adding it to the potatoes. I made only a few changes. Add 1 teaspoon of black pepper and sprinkled some paprika on top. This will become part of our family cookbook. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. On 7/8/09 I was looking for a scalloped potato recipe that had the same amount of baking time as Recipe#187469 or pretty close to it. And I came across this one and decided to try it.The recipe was followed as it was written, I even added a bit more cheese to the top before baking. ( I'm a cheese addict :) ) After baking, I let it " rest " for a bit so it wouldn't be too hard to plate up. As for the taste my SO and I both thought that it needed just a bit more salt, but other than that this recipes is a "keeper ". Thanks for posting and, " Keep Smiling :) "

  5. This was the perfect side dish. I have always made boxed scalloped potatoes, I found this recipe to be just as easy, and it was much creamier than the boxed kind as well! The only change that I made was substituting evaporated milk for regular milk (my mom said it would taste just the same). I am three months pregnant with our second, and not much has tasted good to me. Thank you soooo much for posting this recipe!! Its a winner in our home!
