Scalloped Potatoes

Scalloped potatoes are one of those classic side dish recipes you simply must have in your arsenal when it comes to cooking dinner. Traditionally reserved for holiday dinners this recipe is simple to make, and is a recipe that once you put it together you can this classic potato dish in the oven, and leave it alone until the timer rings.

For this recipe I recommend you use plain old Russet potatoes. These are the type that are typically sold in grocery stores. Why you want to use this type is for the higher starch content of this potato. Scalloped potatoes have a certain structure, they can almost stand up on their own after they are baked. If you don’t have any Russets, I would try another white potato such as Atlantic, Snowden, Dakota Pearl, Superior, Kennebec, Shepody, Cal White and Pike. My secondary choice would be one of the yellow potatoes like a Yukon Gold, Innovator, Yukon Gem, Keuka Gold or Satina. I would not make this dish with a red potato, we can do all sorts of things with a red potato, they aren’t starchy enough for this dish.
