My mother passed away over 10 years ago and I haven't have scalloped potatoes since... she added ham which I really loved and I miss the potatoes ,but nothing can compares with how much I miss my mother.... I'm sure others feel the same way....

[@binkiep2840]

I'm sorry for your loss.

[@geez53182]

I feel the same

[@loridennis2989]

Ooh, I love ham!

[@kathleennorton6108]

Yes, ham or bacon. I think of scalloped potato as creamy, with ham or bacon. I think that once cheese is added they become cheesey potatoes. I miss my Mom a lot, too. I miss all of my family who have gone on to be with The LORD, which is most of them. My Grandma, who cooked the scalloped potatoes, made her's with ham, too. Sometimes if she didn't have ham she would make them with bacon, which is good, too.

[@thedude1744]

I have the same feelings. I think you should make these in honor of your mother and pass this on to your family.

Quick Tip: Reduce the heat before stirring in your cheese. This will preventing the cheese from separating. I've got a potluck tomorrow, and this recipe is perfect. I'll be adding parmesan & chives as well!

[@Inf7cted]

Wonder what bacon bits would taste like in this mixture

[@scampbell21]

@@Inf7cted I swear I was thinking the same thing! I don’t know what’s wrong with me 😂

[@ljamison92]

This was wonderful! I did medium cheddar/sharp cheddar with parmesan and asiego cheese. I did garlic instead of onion in the cheese sauce, and then topped it with caramelized shallots 🤤 Thanks for the wonderful recipe! 😍😍

[@JustMe-mz3te]

In the recipe it says remove from heat before stirring in the cheese.

[@paulatudor691]

Count me in . Just kidding I won’t be there but hope you use cast iron to bake it. Sounds good though.

I made this today and it was delicious! My husband told me that he didn't like au gratin potatoes but that he love these so that's saying a lot. The only thing I did differently was to cover for almost an hour because I don't have a mandolin so my potatoes weren't cut evenly. I wanted to make sure the thick sliced were cooked through. I also used half n' half instead of milk. Thank you for this recipe. It's going in my recipe book. :)

[@GreekPackDragon]

PRO TIP: Take the pan off the heat before you add in the cheese. Sometimes the cheese will separate from too much heat. The residual heat from making the roux will be more than enough to make the cheese melt AND incorporate together into the sauce.

I barely had enough cheese sauce. Hope it doesn't come out dry.
