Scalloped Potatoes

Submitted by The Maltese Falcon

"A delightful moist poatatoe dish which compliments all main dishes but goes particularly well with either chiken or grilled fish. The potatoes taste sweet and pleasantly creamy. One of our most popular dishes"

Excellent side. I accidentally ended with too much cream and to help use some of it I reversed at amounts of milk and cream in this recipe. Oh my. was it good! I have to say that you should really watch this, I made the full recipe and it was fully cooked with very tender potatoes in about half the stated time even with me lowering the oven to 350 after the first 30 mins. Made for PAC, Fall 2012

Great potato dish. Loved the addition of sage. Did not use the peppers (have never seen a peppadew in this area). Great with pork chops. Made for Fall 2012 PAC game.
