I'm looking for the best Scalloped (or au Gratin) Potato Recipe.
Potato thickly sliced or thinly sliced?
Who can help me out?
Thanks. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Cheers.gif" alt="" />

Basic recipe... I usually add cooked ham or pork to it...
Ingredients: 6 medium red skinned potatoes 3 tablespoons butter 6 green onions, with 2 inches green, sliced 3 tablespoons flour 2 1/4 cups whole milk 1/8 teaspoon pepper salt, to taste 1/4 teaspoon dried mustard dash nutmeg Preparation: Lightly grease an 11x7-inch baking dish. Heat oven to 350°. Peel potatoes; rinse well then slice thinly into a large bowl.
In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Add sliced green onions and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in flour until smooth and bubbly. Add milk and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring, until thick and bubbly. Stir in mustard and nutmeg. Pour the mixture over potatoes and mix well.
Pour the potato mixture into prepared baking dish; cover with foil. Bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes longer, or until browned on top.

I like the thinner slices, as I hate underdone crunchy potatos (more like an apple)! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Sick.gif" alt="" />

Yo, Brian, where's the cheese?????????? I can't imagine scalloped potatoes without cheese?????? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Shocked.gif" alt="" /> Not that I'm any kind of a great cook, but my family thinks I make a good scalloped potatoes. And NO, Raspy, I don't really have a recipe. For the most part, the 'liquid' is cheese, with enough butter and milk to make it creamy. It's usually about 6 large potatoes, mixture of shredded cheeses, like gouda, some mozzarella, some cheddar (about 1 1/2 cups??), and maybe an inch of velveeta, maybe a cup or so of milk, several tablespoons of butter, dab of flour, 1/2 large onion, minced, salt and pepper.. And I usually add ham also.

Julia Child and James Beard always told me that real Scalloped Potatoes never have cheese in them, even though that is what many Americans do. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

This is the way I also make scalloped potatoes. Served with a nicely baked ham, it is delicious! I love cheese so Au Gratin is a favorite too! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />

Scalloped potatoes are a good side with a ham dinner--- however-- if you are doing a pot luck or a buffet-(without the baked ham) try kielbasa in the potatoes- it is also a winner (no cheese though- although I guess you could) chbpod

GaKaye said: Actually, true scalloped potatoes don't have cheese. Au Gratin potatoes have cheese.
The way I've always made them (scalloped), is to layer sliced potatoes and onions in a buttered casserole dish. Top each layer with salt, pepper a sprinkle of flour, and dot with butter. Put the layers all the way to the top of the dish. Then pour milk on top, until it comes up to the top layer of potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 45 minutes. Be sure to let is set for 15 minutes or so before serving. This is how I make mine too. I learned this from my mother and grandmother, who were both great Southern women.

So many recipes and varieties, all sounding good. Would post my wife's version, but she would have to kill me ! Her's is similiar, all tasty postings, will try a few. Yup, Au Gratin is with cheese, Scalloped Potatoes, no cheese. 2-4-Travel

I like both your's and contessa's recipes... mine was just the basic... I always add lots of thinly sliced onions... and enough flour to make the juices thick... usually par-boil the potato slices, pre-soaked also... I hate crunchy potatoes in this! they have to be cooked "aldente" before adding to casserole... I slice mine about 1/4" thick... sometimes I will top with thin cut pork chops, or layer with leftover spiral cut ham...
Cheese is definately Au Gratin, and can be done same way with addition of cheese... personally, I like it better without the cheese...

We've been saying "good eats" since HS in the late '60's/early 70's! Came from a friend of mine that was brought up in Scranton, Pa... I think AB stole it from there! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

Probably just a throwback from my mom, who uses Velveeta in everything! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> I don't use ONLY Velveeta! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

Wouldn't personally know what Dom tastes like, as we're too poor to buy it. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" /> OTOH, SOMEONE was supposed to get some for us last time, but he had some lame excuse.......... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Devil.gif" alt="" />
