scallop potatoes? looking for a yummy recipe?

Question

i just made some from scratch and they just didn't have enough flavor. did i do something wrong or am i too picky?

Answer 1

I don't ever measure anything or use recipes. I just cook the old fashioned way, but I can make some pretty awesome scalloped potatoes. I'll do the best I can.

Sliced potatoes (8-10 med. potatoes)
Diced onion (about 1/2 med. onion)
flour
butter
salt & pepper
velveeta cheese cubed (approx. 1 cup)
Ham cubed (I use Cook's ham steak)
milk
Nature's Seasons Seasoning Blend (made by McCormick) Optional

Start with a layer of potatoes, then diced onion, flour, butter, salt, pepper, cheese, ham. Repeat until 8 1/2" X 11" pan is 3/4 full. (usually about 3 layers). Top w/ milk to the top of the pan.

Sprinkle Natures Seasons over the top for a "lift in flavor". This is a great seasoning to bring out the flavor in many dishes.

Be sure to leave enough room in your pan for it to boil. Place on a foil lined cookie sheet for over-flow.
Enjoy!

Answer 4

I made these last night . I never measure, so here goes!
Peel and slice thinly enough potatoes to fill up your baking pan(7-8?). Make a sauce with Velveeta and a little milk cooked on low. Make a layer of potatoes,pour a bit of sauce, a sprinkle of chives,a handful of shredded cheddar, plenty salt and pepper. Don't be afraid of the salt- it will be bland without it. Keep layering till you run out of potatoes. Top with more cheddar -and heres the kicker- pour a small carton of heavy cream over all.Bake @ 375f for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are fork tender. Not diet food , but it's good!

Must be something in the weather... I JUST wrote up how we do ours -- it's in the Sources field (look for my answer, I'm the blue guy who looks like a car at the exit of Turn 12 at Portland International Raceway :-).

Basic premise: slice peeled, raw boiling potatoes into a buttered baking dish; salt and pepper (plus a little grated nutmeg), then pour cream over them till they're about halfway covered. Top with cheese, bake till done. They sort of poach/simmer in the cream and the buttery goodness drips down onto them and it's just heaven. Mmmmmmmm.

Be sure to try it with gruyere cheese, it melts the best and gives the best flavor. And, amazingly, it's really simple.

Answer 8

I make a quick and easy version:

Layer the sliced poatoes in a casserole dish with ham and sliced onion, and lots of salt and pepper. When the pan is full, pour a can of cheddar broccoli soup over the top and sprinkle some cheese on the top. Bake and enjoy!
