OLD FASHION SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350, not convection.
• Slice 5-6 medium russet potatoes about 1/8 inch to make about 4 cups. If you have crazy ninja knife skills, you can do this by hand, but a mandolin is a good thing here. The setting on mine for this is "thin."
• Rinse the potato slices in a bowl of cold water. Let soak until ready to use then dry a bit with a paper towel.
• Start the sauce with 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large pan. When melted, add 3 tablespoons flour and whisk for a few minutes. Add 1 ½ cup milk. Frequently whisk for a couple of minutes and add 1 teaspoon salt and ⅙ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional.) Bring to a light boil and whisk contentiously, and this will start to thicken in a few more minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup of cheese. I used sharp cheddar. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat.
• Layer half of the potatoes into a casserole dish (6 by 9 inches) that has been sprayed with PAM. Put them in individually, so they are not stuck together. Do not just dump them in.
• Pour half the cheese sauce over the first half of the potatoes.
• Add the second half of the potatoes, then rest of the cheese sauce. Now top with ½ cup of shredded cheese. Give a light sprinkle of paprika (an old fashion touch.)
• Bake until potatoes are "fork-tender." This will be about an hour or a little more. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

OLD FASHIONED SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• Measure the butter out first, butter the pan, then divide the remaining into approximate thirds so you'll know how much goes on each layer.
• It is easiest to get even coverage on the flour, salt, and pepper by mixing them together in a small bowl and then sprinkling each layer. You'll need a little more than a tablespoon per layer if you mix.

HOW TO MAKE OLD-FASHIONED SCALLOPED POTATOES | TASTING TABLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350º. Grease a shallow, 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• In the dish, arrange the potato slices in layers, sprinkling each layer with onion, cheese, salt and pepper. Finish with a thick layer of cheese and dot the top with the remaining butter.
• Beat the egg and milk together. Pour this mixture carefully over the potatoes. Cover the dish with buttered foil.
• Bake in the center of the oven until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden, 1½ hours. If you'd like the top to be more browned and crisp, remove the foil 15 to 20 minutes before you finishing baking. Serve warm.

OLD STYLE SCALLOPED POTATOES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray an 8" X 8" deep baking dish with nonstick cooking spray. Peel & slice potatoes. If potatoes are too big around, slice in half lengthwise, then cut halves into slices.
• 2. Take about 1/3 of the potatoes and arrange in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle salt & pepper and dot with a few pats of butter or margarine. On top of this, sprinkle 1/3 of the flour over the bottom layer of potatoes. Top with another 1/3 of the potatoes, repeat process with salt & pepper and butter & flour until all potatoes and butter & flour are used.
• 3. Take 1 1/2 cups of milk and pour slowly over the whole dish. Not all the flour will wash down, but do not worry about this. You want some of it to stay on top. Place in preheated oven uncovered for 1 hour. Milk & butter should be bubbly and thickened. The potatoes on top should look a little brown and crusty.
• 4. Serve hot. Note: Some people like to melt cheese on top of their scalloped potatoes. Personally I don't, but it won't hurt it a bit! Don't use more than a couple handsfull of shredded cheese (cheddar, longhorn, Jack, etc) Most any kind would taste good. Bon Apetit' Y'all!!

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.
