Just like the Macaroni and Cheese, this is not actually the first version I've made of this dish, but it's the first I have written about. It won't be the last... I have had some really good scalloped potatoes, but I haven't recreated them myself yet.
This recipe comes from Food.com under 'Southern'. I only changed out the salt for cracked pepper (I always salt to taste) but otherwise followed the recipe. I used really nice extra sharp cheddar and Yukon gold potatoes. To be blunt, this was boring. It just tasted fatty and starchy. It needs garlic or onion or something else. One reviewer said she used a squirt of mustard and some minced onions, that sounds intriguing. The best part of this was the cheese burned to the side of the casserole dish.
I like to layer the potatoes this way.
Here is the roux with everything minus the cheese.
Cheese added!
Here half of the roux is layered over one layer of potatoes.
Then you add another layer of potatoes, another layer of roux and top with cheese.
Baked! Looks pretty good, but turned out to be quite bland.
