How To Make Old Fashioned Scalloped Potatoes Tasting Table Recipes

OLD FASHION SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350, not convection.
• Slice 5-6 medium russet potatoes about 1/8 inch to make about 4 cups. If you have crazy ninja knife skills, you can do this by hand, but a mandolin is a good thing here. The setting on mine for this is "thin."
• Rinse the potato slices in a bowl of cold water. Let soak until ready to use then dry a bit with a paper towel.
• Start the sauce with 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large pan. When melted, add 3 tablespoons flour and whisk for a few minutes. Add 1 ½ cup milk. Frequently whisk for a couple of minutes and add 1 teaspoon salt and ⅙ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional.) Bring to a light boil and whisk contentiously, and this will start to thicken in a few more minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup of cheese. I used sharp cheddar. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat.
• Layer half of the potatoes into a casserole dish (6 by 9 inches) that has been sprayed with PAM. Put them in individually, so they are not stuck together. Do not just dump them in.
• Pour half the cheese sauce over the first half of the potatoes.
• Add the second half of the potatoes, then rest of the cheese sauce. Now top with ½ cup of shredded cheese. Give a light sprinkle of paprika (an old fashion touch.)
• Bake until potatoes are "fork-tender." This will be about an hour or a little more. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Measure the butter out first, butter the pan, then divide the remaining into approximate thirds so you'll know how much goes on each layer.
• It is easiest to get even coverage on the flour, salt, and pepper by mixing them together in a small bowl and then sprinkling each layer. You'll need a little more than a tablespoon per layer if you mix.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º. Grease a shallow, 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In the dish, arrange the potato slices in layers, sprinkling each layer with onion, cheese, salt and pepper. Finish with a thick layer of cheese and dot the top with the remaining butter.
• Beat the egg and milk together. Pour this mixture carefully over the potatoes. Cover the dish with buttered foil.
• Bake in the center of the oven until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden, 1½ hours. If you'd like the top to be more browned and crisp, remove the foil 15 to 20 minutes before you finishing baking. Serve warm.
