Here's a great scalloped potato recipe that's so easy and absolutely delicious. The leftovers are just as good, maybe even better, the next day. This is one of my favorite and most prepared recipes, from my 1971 Florence Junior Welfare League cookbook.

I always make scallops a day ahead, as I think the potatoes and the rest make friends overnight. These pots were by far the best scallops I've ever made. Seriously decadent, so yummy, and zero leftovers. I did add some onions because I love them, as well as some thyme, garlic, and nutmeg. Not sure why I added nutmeg, but it worked.Reply

I was looking for an escalloped potatoes recipe and was directed to this au gratin recipe instead. Since I had all the ingredients I decided to make it instead (we've been eating health this week so why not a cheesy treat for dinner?) Tip if using dehydrated potatoes: I used rehydrated sliced potatoes so took a guess at the dry volume. I used 3 cups of sliced dehydrated potatoes and poured boiling water on them and let them sit covered for a hour. I had a little extra potato using that amount so I just will just fry up the extra tomorrow for a quick lunch. Next time I might use just 2 3/4 cups of dried slices.1Reply
