Easy Cheesy Skillet Scalloped Potatoes With Mushrooms

Submitted by Chocolatl

"Too hot to turn the oven on? You can still have delicious creamy potatoes with this savory recipe. Peeling is optional, and any kind of parmesan you have is fine. Note: Thanks to the reviewers who made this the second-place winner! I've noted the things you said, and made a few adjustments. Note: This is a stovetop recipe. I do not recommend making it in the oven. Although it can be done successfully, it takes about twice as long to cook using raw potatoes. Using cooked or partially cooked potatoes does not give the sauce a chance to thicken properly. The dish also has a serious tendency to scorch in the oven."

Enjoyed this dish, as a side dish to dinner tonight. Other than picky daughter forking out the mushrooms, and it sticking slightly to the pan no problems, and well enjoyed. Made for Zaar Stars.

Nice potato dish - and I appreciate having a stovetop option for when it is hot, as mentioned in the intro. Good flavors, and loved the addition of mushrooms. Thanks for sharing!

Delicious! We doubled the amount of potatoes listed and thought the amount of sauce was perfect for that, otherwise didn't change anything. I especially like that these are a stovetop method to clear up the oven for other things. Thanks for sharing!

An absolute winner! these are delicious, I did make a few changes and increased the garlic way up and chili flakes, I omitted the dill as I did not have any at the time I made these, this is a killer potato recipe I urge everyone to give it a try, thanks for sharing Pat I will make this again for sure!

The flavor in this dish is right on. It tasted great, But, I found the sauce a bit watery, and I'm not really in love with the mushrooms. Since they're a pretty wet ingredient, I think next time I'll try it without the shrooms. Great recipe, and good luck in rsc!
