An easy recipe for Old-Fashioned Scalloped Potatoes, made with softened onions, an easy roux, and thinly sliced potatoes.

Categories     Potato     Side     Casserole/Gratin     Cheddar     Winter     Gourmet     Thanksgiving     Vegetarian

Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups thinly sliced onion
9 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 1/2 cups milk
2 1/2 pounds boiling potatoes
1 1/2 cups coarsely grated sharp Cheddar (about 6 ounces)
1/3 cup dry bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°. In a skillet, cook the onion and 2 tablespoons of the butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until it is very soft. In a heavy saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the remaining butter over moderately low heat, whisk in the flour, and cook the roux, whisking, for 3 minutes. Add the milk, scalded, in a stream, whisking, and bring the sauce to a boil. Simmer the sauce, whisking, for 1 minute and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice them ⅛-inch thick. Spread about one third of the sauce in the bottom of a well-buttered 3-quart gratin dish at least 2 ½-inches deep, cover it with a layer of potato slices, overlapping the slices slightly, and cover the potatoes with one third of the onions. Sprinkle the onions with one third of the Cheddar and continue to layer the remaining sauce, potatoes, onions, and Cheddar in the same manner. Sprinkle the top with bread crumbs, and dot it with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, cut into bits.
  • Bake the mixture, covered with foil, in the middle of preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake the potato mixture for 35 minutes more, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.

Homemade Potato and Cheese Pierogies / Old Fashioned Perogies image

Make and share this Homemade Potato and Cheese Pierogies / Old Fashioned Perogies recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Mimi Bobeck

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon grated onion
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups cold mashed potatoes
1 cup cottage cheese (or more)
salt and pepper
2 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg
2 teaspoons oil
3/4 cup warm water

Steps:

  • Potato and Cheese Filling: Cook the onion in butter until tender.
  • Combine it with potatoes and cheese.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Vary the proportions and ingredients in this recipe to suit your taste.
  • Mix the flour with the salt in a deep bowl.
  • Add the egg, oil and water to make a medium soft dough.
  • Knead on a floured board until the dough is smooth.
  • Caution: Too much kneading will toughen the dough.
  • Divide the dough into 2 parts.
  • Cover and let stand for at least 10 minutes.
  • Prepare the filling.
  • The filling should be thick enough to hold its shape.
  • Roll the dough quite thin on a floured board.
  • Cut rounds with a large biscuit cutter, or as most old-world grandmothers did, with the open end of a glass.
  • Put the round in the palm of your hand.
  • Place a spoonful of filling in it, fold over to form a half circle and press the edges together with the fingers.
  • The edges should be free of filling.
  • Be sure the edges are sealed well to prevent the filling from running out.
  • Place the pierogi on a floured board or tea towel and then cover with another tea towel to prevent them from drying out.
  • COOKING: Drop a few pierogies into a large quantity of rapidly boiling salted water.
  • Do not attempt to cook too many at a time.
  • Stir VERY gently with a wooden spoon to separate them and to prevent them from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Continue boiling for 3-4 minutes.
  • The cooling period will depend upon the size you made it, the thickness of the dough and the filling.
  • Pierogies will be ready when they are puffed.
  • Remove them with a perforated spoon or skimmer to a colander and drain thoroughly.
  • Place in a deep dish, sprinkle generously with melted butter to prevent them from sticking.
  • Cover and keep them hot until all are cooked.
  • Serve in a large dish without piling or crowding them.
  • Top with melted butter- chopped crisp bacon and/or chopped onions lightly browned in butter.
  • REHEATING: One of the great things about perogies, is that they can be made in large quantities, refrigerated, frozen and reheated without loss of quality.
  • Many prefer reheated perogies as compared to freshly boiled ones.
  • To re-heat, you can: 1) pan fry pierogies in butter or bacon fat until they are light in color or, 2) heat the pierogies in the top of a double boiler or in the oven until they are hot and plump or, 3) deep fry them.

CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES



Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes image

This is a YUMMY dish that takes me back to the old fashioned comfort foods I grew up on. Mmmm... makes the house smell so GOOD! NOTE: The 1 3/4 hours time allowance stated includes prep and cooking time.

Provided by Nibblets

Categories     Potato

Time 1h45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 -5 medium potatoes, sliced thin
1 (284 ml) can cream of mushroom soup
1 medium onion, chopped
1/4-1/2 cup milk
2 cups cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Pam cooking spray

Steps:

  • In greased 1.5 L casserole dish, spray bottom and sides lightly with PAM cooking spray.
  • Arrange first layer starting with potatoes, then onion and then cheese.
  • In small bowl, combine mushroom soup, milk, Worcestershire sauce and spices; spoon enough over first potato layer to coat everything.
  • Repeat steps 1 through 3 until all ingredients are layered ending with cheddar cheese.
  • Cover and bake at 400°F for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender and test done using a fork. Uncover and bake 15 minutes longer to brown the top layer of cheese.

Tips:

  • Use freshly grated cheese: Freshly grated cheese melts better and provides a more consistent flavor than pre-shredded cheese.
  • Choose a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the dish. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Parmesan, or Gruyère.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: The potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but still hold their shape. If you overcook them, they will become mushy.
  • Use a well-seasoned skillet: A well-seasoned skillet will help to prevent the potatoes from sticking. If you don't have a well-seasoned skillet, you can grease it with butter or cooking spray.
  • Cook the potatoes in batches: If you are cooking a large batch of potatoes, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet. Overcrowding will cause the potatoes to steam instead of fry.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: Cheese potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be reheated, but they will not be as crispy.

Conclusion:

Cheese potatoes are a classic side dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you like them crispy or soft, cheesy or tangy, there is a cheese potato recipe out there for you.
