How to Make Scalloped Potatoes

Potato Tips

Kind: Russet Potatoes or Yukon Golds deliver the best taste and shape. Russets have the most starch and make the creamiest sauce, and Yukons tend to hold their shape a little better.Cutting: Try to keep the potatoes the same size and slice them between ⅛ and ¼ inch thick. You can use a mandoline or other tool for even uniformity.Cook: Do not boil your potatoes before baking. The sauce relies on starch from the potatoes to thicken it.Add ins: There are lots of ways to diversify this basic recipe. Add garlic, diced onion, peppers, for heat add a can of diced green chilies. You can also add crumbled bacon or small cubes of ham.Cheese: You can use different kinds of cheese for different flavors and textures. Experiment with your favorites.Curdling: The curdling is caused by high heat. So to keep the sauce together, you need to make a smooth cheese sauce instead of layering grated cheese and milk or cream with the potatoes. Also don’t boil your sauce.

Storing Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes
