NEVER-FAIL SCALLOPED POTATOES
Combining a little microwaving with traditional baking makes the potatoes tender every time - and speeds up the cooking time, too! Making the white sauce on the stove ensures a creamy result, as well. Vary the amount and type of cheese used to your personal preference.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375º F. Butter a 2-3 quart casserole.
- Slice peeled potatoes in 1/4" slices; a mandolin makes this an easy job. Place potatoes in cold water for 2 or 3 minutes. Drain, but don't dry, the potatoes and place them in the casserole.
- Season the potatoes well with salt and pepper. Cover with a lid (or vented plastic wrap) and microwave the "wet" potatoes for 5to 7 minutes on high power.
- Meanwhile, prepare cheese sauce: in a small saucier, melt the butter, then add the flour. Whisk and cook the flour for 2 minutes over low heat. Add the milk and cream all at once, whisking well. Cook and stir until mixture thickens. Remove from heat and stir in seasonings and cheese, blending well.
- Using hot pads, remove potatoes from the microwave and carefully remove cover (beware of the steam!). Pour the sauce over the potatoes and stir gently with a rubber spatula to coat the potatoes evenly.
- Smooth the top and sprinkle with additional shredded cheese, or buttered bread crumbs, if desired. Bake for 35 to 45 minutes, uncovered, until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown. Serve immediately or at room temperature.

Steps:
- In a small nonstick skillet, melt butter. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually add milk. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 mins or until thickened.

Cover and bake at 350° for 50 mins. Uncover; bake 10-15 mins longer or until bubbly and potatoes are tender.
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used, but they may fall apart more easily.
- Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to slice the potatoes about ⅛-inch thick.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If the potatoes are too crowded, they will not cook evenly. Make sure there is enough space between the potatoes so that they can cook on all sides.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan and burning.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are all good seasonings to use. You can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
- Cover the pan: This will help to create steam and cook the potatoes more evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: This will usually take about 45 minutes to an hour. Check the potatoes by inserting a knife into the center. If the knife goes in easily, the potatoes are done.
- Top the potatoes with cheese: This is optional, but it adds a delicious flavor and texture to the potatoes.
- Broil the potatoes until the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will take about 2-3 minutes.
Conclusion:
Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect scalloped potatoes every time.
