Scalloped Potatoes Recipe – Page 2

Yukon gold or Russet Potatoes work well with this recipe.
Slice the potatoes between 1/8-1/4 inch thick. A mandoline works really well for this recipe.
For optimal flavor, use fresh herbs. But dried herbs can be used in a pinch.
If you like a lot of seasoning, add fresh herbs, salt, and black pepper to each layer. Or go hog wild and add some Cajun or Creole seasoning.
To make these into au gratin potatoes, whisk in about 2 cups of good quality shredded cheddar to the sauce at the very end over very low heat. As soon as it melts, proceed with the recipe as written.
Keep an eye on the potatoes when under the broiler. Broilers can be so unpredictable, especially in older ovens. I always set a 1-2 minute timer, so I do not get distracted.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.
