Newsgroups: rec.food.cooking Subject: REQ. Scalloped Potatoes au gratin ============================ From: msjawolfe@aol.com (Msjawolfe) Date: 14 Sep 1998 04:53:29 GMT -------- Please, need your favorite recipe for scalloped potatoes au gratin. For some reason, this is a hit or miss dish with me, and so, has become one that I always dread making..wondering "Will it turn out right?" The husband has agreed that I can adopt a cat I am mad for, if I will make him this dish for a late supper Monday night. (He works till almost midnight, that gives me a little extra time to garner recipes) Not that he could have stopped said feline acquisition, but his blessing makes things so much easier.

I adore it! Although, I must confess to making up my own recipe - sort of an adaptation of a regular scalloped potatoes recipe. I thinly slice up peeled potatoes, and place them in a buttered baking dish. I then toss them in a bit of flour.. .maybe 3/4 cup? .. and salt and pepper. (be generous with the salt... this dish needs it!) I then pour milk in the dish, almost to the top. Then, sprinkle in (lots of) grated cheddar cheese and mix together. Then, I dot butter or margarine all over the top and bake until the potatoes are soft and the whole thing is melty and wonderful. About 350 - 400 degree oven. YUM! I might have to go make some now! -Beth ============================
