Steps:

  • LIGHTER SCALLOPED POTATOES Serves 8. Published April 20, 2007. The quickest way to slice the potatoes is in a food processor fitted with a 1/8-inch-thick slicing blade. Halve the potatoes crosswise and put them in the feed tube cut-side down so that they sit flat on the surface of the slicing disk. A mandoline or V-slicer is the other option. Don't try to slice the potatoes with a knife; you won't get them thin enough. It is best to assemble all of your ingredients before slicing the potatoes. If the potato slices discolor as they stand, put them in a bowl and cover with the milk in the recipe. Don't be tempted to slice the potatoes and store them in water-this will remove some of the starch that is necessary to thicken the milk. This recipe was published in our cookbook The Best Light Recipe.

I love that this recipe uses light cream instead of heavy cream. It makes the dish a little lighter, but it's still just as delicious.

The potatoes were a little undercooked for my liking. I would cook them for a few minutes longer next time.

These scalloped potatoes were a little bland for my taste. I think I would add some more garlic and herbs next time.
