MISSISSIPPI SLUGBURGER
I'm showing you my take on one of America's strangest hamburgers, and certainly the hamburger with the strangest name. But don't worry, this is 100% mollusk free. The name comes from the fact that these used to cost a nickel-and in the past, the slang term for nickel was "slug."

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees with a rack set in the lower third of oven. Combine sliced potatoes and milk in a large saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, and immediately reduce heat to low; cover and simmer until potatoes are just tender, about 3 minutes.
- Place a colander over a large bowl and drain potatoes, reserving milk. You should have 2 cups of thick, starchy milk. If potatoes have absorbed more than 1 cup of milk, add enough milk to bring the reserved milk volume to 2 cups.
- Rub a 3 1/2-quart oval baking dish with garlic and butter. Arrange sliced potatoes in the baking dish; season with salt and pepper. Dot with remaining butter and pour over reserved cooking milk and cream. Sprinkle cheese over top.
- Transfer baking dish to oven and bake until cheese becomes deep golden brown and milk has reduced and thickened, 80 to 90 minutes. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are the best choices for scalloped potatoes, as they hold their shape well and are less likely to fall apart during cooking.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly and prevent some pieces from being overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to slice the potatoes evenly and prevent them from tearing.
- Layer the potatoes and sauce evenly: This will help to ensure that the potatoes are cooked evenly and that the sauce is distributed throughout the dish.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork, but not so soft that they fall apart.
- Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent them from breaking apart when you serve them.
Conclusion:
Make-ahead scalloped potatoes are a delicious and easy side dish that can be prepared in advance and reheated when you're ready to serve. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy, cheesy potato dish that will be a hit with your family and friends.
