EASY MICROWAVE SCALLOPED POTATOES



Easy Microwave Scalloped Potatoes image

This came from a recipe book given to me by my grandmother-in-law. I like it because it cooks in about 1/2 the time of regular (oven) scalloped potatoes, and tastes basically the same. Great for weeknights when time is at a premium, or if you have no room in the oven. (Note, I noticed other recipes for scalloped potatoes call for cheese or other ingredients - this is scalloped potatoes like my mom used to make, basically just white sauce and potatoes. We always eat ours with lots of ketchup on top!)

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons margarine or 3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
4 -6 medium potatoes, sliced
1 small onion, sliced

Steps:

  • Put margarine (or butter) into LARGE glass bowl, and microwave on High for 1 minute, or until melted. (If you really like cleaning your microwave, feel free to use a smaller bowl.).
  • Blend in flour, salt & pepper. Gradually stir in milk.
  • Microwave on High 8-10 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.
  • Layer half the potatoes and onion in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half the prepared sauce, then the rest of the potatoes and onion, then the rest of the sauce.
  • Cover and microwave on High 20 minutes, or until done. (Cooking times will depend on the strength of your microwave; I think ours is in the 1,200-watt range, and 20 minutes usually works just fine for us).

SCALLOPED POTATOES



Scalloped Potatoes image

The perfect side dish to an elegant or celebratory main course, or the welcome addition to any potluck supper, scalloped potatoes are one of those dishes that seem complicated, but are deceptively simple. You'll need to put in a bit of "peeler time" to get the spuds ready for the oven, but after that it's just a long bake and a short standing period to let the sauce thicken. Then, voila! you're ready to serve.

Impress guests with these deliciously creamy scalloped potatoes flavoured with garlic and parmesan. They're a great side dish for many dinners

Provided by Adam Bush

Categories     Side dish

Time 2h10m

Number Of Ingredients 8

50g unsalted butter, plus extra for the dish
1 onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
50g plain flour
500ml whole milk
250ml chicken or vegetable stock
1kg Maris Piper potatoes, thinly sliced (use a mandoline for the best results)
75g parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter a deep 20 x 30cm baking dish. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for 8-10 mins until the onion has softened slightly. Tip in the flour, stir well, then cook for a few minutes more. Mix the milk and stock together, then gradually pour this in, whisking well between additions until everything is incorporated and you have a smooth sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then season well.
  • Lay half the sliced potatoes in a single layer in the buttered dish, slightly overlapping them if needed. Pour over half the sauce, then scatter over half the parmesan. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, then pour over the remaining sauce and scatter with the remaining parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hr, then remove the foil and bake for another 30 mins until golden on top.

  • For a cheesy scalloped potato dish, add a layer of shredded cheese to the top before microwaving.
  • To add more flavor, you can add diced onions, bell peppers, or mushrooms to the potatoes before microwaving.
  • For a vegetarian version of scalloped potatoes, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
