Southern Scalloped Potatoes
By: Stella Mae
Apr 18, 2003
This delicious casserole hasn't been compromised by garlic and some other seasonings to detract from the traditional southern flavor, or gunked up with cheese to turn it into a gratin or doria. We enjoy this authentic southern dish year-round, so good in its creamy simplicity and subtle flavors. My family always expects it for Christmas dinner alongside the ham and cranberry chutney. Be your own judge regarding measurements. I learned from my grandmother and she never measured, so I've learned to guestimate on many of my recipes. NOTE: This dish can easily be frozen after baking, then thawed out and reheated. I do not recommend freezing without baking first, since potatoes will sometimes get mushy if frozen uncooked. I personally do not like a tin baking pan for this particular recipe, especially for freezing, since it can sometimes impart a "tinny" taste. Also, if this recipe is baked in a glass baking dish and then frozen, the glass will shatter if not at room temperature. So, if freezing in a glass baking dish, I recommend baking and freezing in Corning Ware since it will not break.

Thanks for this recipe. It''s an old southern scalloped potato recipe. Some of us remember eating wonderful scalloped potatoes long before cheese and garlic were added to southen recipes.

Everything about this recipe is exactly like my own scalloped potatoes, except for the way it is prepared. I used Yukon Gold potatoes (no Idahos in the house) and used my mandoline to slice the raw potatoes. Then I covered them w/water and cooked for about 5 minutes. The rest of your directions I followed to a tee for perfect results. I always use plenty of salt and pepper to suit our tastes. I used a 13x9" glass pan and I baked in the oven for about 30 minutes. I knew it would be wonderful when I selected this recipe, and I proved myself correct! Thanks, Stella Mae!

Oh Stella! These were really good! I've never had luck with making home made scalloped potatoes. I hate to admit, I've always made Idahoan from the box, but all the reviews gave me a whole new lease on making them. I cut the potatoes before cooking so I wouldn't have to fiddle with them after they cooked and were hot. I followed the recipe to a T, but I did add a bit of fresh dill to the mixture just for a bit of oomph. Next time, I will add a bit more milk because I like creamier scalloped and the sauce was a bit thick. But that's just personal preference. They went great with our Easter Ham and DannyGirl's Maple Glazed Carrots - Maple Glazed Carrots.
