SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH THREE CHEESES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly butter 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Mix cheddar cheese, blue cheese and Parmesan in small bowl.

Sprinkle half of cheese mixture over. Top with remaining potatoes, 3/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons butter. Reserve remaining cheese.
• Bring milk to simmer in medium saucepan. Pour milk over potatoes (milk will not cover potatoes completely). Cover baking dish tightly with foil. Bake 45 minutes. Uncover dish (liquids in dish may look curdled); sprinkle potatoes with reserved cheese mixture. Bake uncovered until potatoes are tender and cheese is deep golden brown, about 45 minutes longer. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature. Cover and rewarm in 375°F oven about 20 minutes.) Remove from oven; let stand 15 minutes before serving.

SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 F. Prepare a 1 1/2 - 2-quart baking dish by buttering the dish generously (I use cooking spray).
• 2. In a double boiler, combine butter, milk, flour, onion, salt, and pepper.
• 3. Cook on low heat until it begins to thicken, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add 1/2 of your cheese and stir until cheese melts.
• 4. Remove pan from heat and add parsley to your taste.
• 5. While you are cooking this, in another saucepan add sliced potatoes and cover with chicken broth.
• 6. Bring to a slow boil and cook slowly until they are about half done, no more (about 5 - 7 minutes).
• 7. Drain potatoes.
• 8. Place a layer of potatoes.
• 9. Then a layer of cheese sauce.
• 10. Repeat.
• 11. Place potatoes in the oven and bake for approximately 20 minutes until potatoes are tender and sauce is bubbly.
• 12. Remove from oven and place the remainder of cheddar cheese on top of potatoes.
• 13. Return potatoes to the oven for about 5 minutes until cheese is melted.

PAN SEARED SCALLOPS WITH BLEU CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the sauce first. It is a basic Bechamel sauce with cream enrichment. Melt 2 Tbsp Butter in a saucepan over medium heat, add 3 Tbsp flour, stirring constantly. Cook 3 minutes without browning flour. Whisk in 3 Cups milk and bring to a slow boil while stirring. Add salt and nutmeg. Cook until it reduces down enough to coat the back of a spoon, add the Bleu cheese and let it melt. Add a few drops of Lemon juice, salt, and White pepper to taste. Add a little cream for extra flavor and put in an oven set on 'warm'.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them, these are deep fried in the vegetable oil for only 30 seconds or so, until they change color. You can salt them slightly before frying.Pull them out of the pot with a spider or slotted spoon and dry them on paper towels.
• The Scallops should be cooked in a hot pan, preferably cast iron, get it good and hot over medium high heat, add the Olive oil, let it heat for half a minute or so and add the Scallops that you have seasoned with Salt, Pepper, And Paprika. Cook about 3-4 minutes per side until the color and doneness is to your preference.
• To plate, lay down the Scallops, cover with the Bleu cheese sauce, and top with some deep fried grated sweet potato. Garnish as you wish, garlic mashed potatoes goes quite well with this as does a good white wine. Enjoy!
