OHHHHHHH my goodness, these potatoes are FANTASTIC!!!!!! Was looking for a scalloped potatoes recipe to go with my Pork Roast. These were over the top. My DH and I agreed that this might kill us but we would die happy Sometimes you just have to treat yourself. Didn't have any any heavy cream so got on the internet and found that 3/4 cup milk plus 1/3 cup melted butter equaled 1 cup heavy cream. Because of the butter in the heavy cream I left out step #4. This recipe is a real keeper.

I made these for Fall Pick a Chef (PAC. I didn't have enough cream, so I used about 3/4 cup and the rest I substituted with plain ole milk whisked with 1 TB of cornstarch. I believe I could've used even less without sacrificing either texture or taste. One of the pictures that I will post will show that my potatoes were sliced the thickness of a nickel. Sliced that thick, they took 2 hours to cook. Had they been more the thickness of a dime they would've been tender within the expected time. I used peeled baking potatoes. 1 1/2 pounds worth were 4 medium potatoes about 4 inches in length and 2 inches wide. The liquid makes the potatoes hard to cut into any discernable shape when hot so cutting them cold before reheating resulted in a much nicer presentation on the plate! I liked the way the parmesan made a nice crispy crust on top of the potatoes, but was quite a strong flavor in the end. I would like to try this with mostly the alternate ingredient romano then a nice sprinkle of parmesan. That way, the flavor is more mellow and yet the crust will still be pleasing in texture. The garlic flavor was very pronounced in this recipe and we like that, but I would also like to use my microwave roasted garlic in this for a more mellow alternative. The provolone cheese was definately a nice touch. Thank you Sherry, for posting.

Love the garlic! This is how I usually make scalloped potatoes but I had never thought of putting garlic in them. YUMMY! Made for Potluck Tag.

I have tried many scalloped potatoes recipes. This has been the best. I think the garlic and the parmesan cheese are the key ingredients. I only had fat free 1/2 and 1/2 on hand. I only added some chopped onions b/c I needed to use it up. I used mozzarella cheese instead of provolone only b/c I did not have that either. I would highly recommend slicing your potatoes thin. I did it by hand just to makes sure I did not have to bake longer. The hour and a 1/2 is perfect if you slice your potatoes thin. I think you could play with this recipe by cooking the garlic, adding onions, different kinds of cheese, etc....I will go back to this recipe in the future for scalloped potatoes. Try it, you will like it.Thx for the recipe

You did it again, SweetsLady. ANOTHER great dish. By slicing the potatoes as thinly as possible, allows for the rich cheesy/creamy sauce to really soak through them. I made this recipe EXACTLY as written and wouldn't change a thing. Thanks for sharing.

Good old fashion and VERY RICH! This was a hit. I had never used provolone in Scalloped Potatoes and I think it gave a bit something extra to the dish. Thanks for the recipe.

Delicious scalloped potatoes!!! I have to admit I went the lazy route and used a bag of Simply Potatoes that are already peeled and sliced. The only other thing I did different was to add some chopped onions for more added flavor. Thanks Sweetslady for a great recipe.

I agree: these potatoes are rich, and are definitely NOT low-cal, LOL! They get 5 stars because my husband doesn't normally like scalloped potatoes, but he gobbles these up! Just be sure to slice the potatoes very thinly — I didn't slice all of them as well as I should have, and had to keep checking on them. It was torture, lol, because I just wanted to eat them already! :P **Edit: Had company over for dinner and made these alongside Easy Pleasing Meatloaf. Was a definite hit!!! I halve the recipe for 4 people, and there was just enough leftover to go with lunch the next day. Thanks, SweetsLady!
