Scalloped potatoes

Since we had lots of cheese, milk, and potatoes to use up I decided to make scalloped potatoes. This is an easy side dish anyone can make. All it consist of is potatoes, cheese, salt, pepper, nutmeg, butter, and milk. Also it is very easy to assemble and all you need to do after putting it together is put in oven for 50-55 minutes. Out comes potatoes with cheesy goodness. You can also make this ahead and keep in fridge then take out and bake. Below is the recipe.


Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients:
3 potatoes, cut into thin slices
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesean cheese
1 1/2 cups milk
garlic salt
pepper
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
2 tbsp. butter

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Peel potatoes and cut into slices. Place in salted water so color does not turn brown and it releases some starch, about 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with paper towel.
3. On stove heat milk, nutmeg, and 1 tablespoon of butter on medium heat. Stir and let milk mixture simmer until it has thickened a bit. Mix the two cheese together. Add a cup of the cheese to the milk mixture. Stir and simmer mixture until it is thick and coats the back of a wooden spoon. Set aside.
4. In a glass baking dish, place sliced potatoes in an overlapping circle. Add garlic salt and pepper. Pour 1/4 cup of cheese sauce mixture onto potatoes. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce mixture. you will have 3 layers. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese mix.
5. Place in 350 degree oven for 50-55 minutes or until potatoes are tender, cheese is bubbly, and top has slightly browned. Serve immediately.
