Scalloped Potatoes

I was instructed that I was making Scalloped Potatoes. As I looked up my recipe, I realized I hadn’t posted it in Yummly format yet so I decided to do a new post and remedy that.

I started by chopping the onions, slicing the potatoes and grating the cheese. You will note I did not peel the potatoes. Peeling potatoes is throwing away food. There is great taste and nutrition in the peel. If you wish to peel the food you can but you  are being wasteful. So ends the sermon.

I heated the 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. When it was melted, I added the flour and stirred until combined.

I slowly poured in the milk while stirring. I stirred and cooked until the mixture started to thicken.

I added the cheeses and mixed until they were melted and combined into the sauce.

I added the salt, dry mustard, hot pepper sauce and black pepper and stirred to blend.

Remove from heat and set aside.

I greased a 10 inch casserole and put 1/3 of the potatoes in the bottom.

I put 1/3 of the sauce over the potatoes followed by 1/3 of the onions.

I used 1/3 of the 3 tablespoons butter and dotted the surface with pieces of butter.

I repeated the layers twice to use up the rest of the ingredients.

I covered the casserole and put it in a 350 F oven for 30 minutes. I removed the cover and cooked for another 60 minutes.

It was served with grilled steak, spinach and broccoli salads.

The Verdict

There is a reason I make this over and over again. The potatoes get a great consistency and the cheese sauce is creamy without overpowering the potato taste. This is one of my standby recipes.
