    This is my favorite way to make scalloped potatoes. I like to add a scattering of caramelized onions within each layer, too. It really adds to the overall wonderfulness of this dish!

    • @robmarais

      Suzanne, another thing I do is to layer in thinly sliced or finely diced ham to the inside layers. With a salad and some bread, that's a good supper!

    Thomas! You're back! I've missed you. And~gasp~the background noise is~absent. You're voice soothes this savage beast and the recipes are easy to follow.
    I've been cooking for almost 50 years and I've never seen scallops made this way! Great idea. Hopefully my "traditional" husband will try these, but if not, there's more for me! HA! 🙃 🤣

      I got the Presto Salad Shooter Pro and it has a cutting blade that makes the really, really thin slices as well as thicker. I have tried both and actually prefer the thicker slices. Best of all, NO INJURIES while also getting things done very quickly. It's also got an attachment for grating carrots or potatoes in no time flat. The one thing it does not do well (which many have tried) is onions. Great for just about everything else. And cheap. I cannot figure out why more people are not using it. (And NO, I do not work for or know anyone who works for Presto, LOL.)

Nowadays at home, if I slice potatoes on my mandoline, I'm making potato soup afterwards. Because I stop slicing When I still have at least an inch of potato remaining, lol. Not taking any chances.

    Great tips in both the video and the comments. I love doing scalloped potatoes. When I make a small casserole for just a few servings I don't have any trouble getting the potatoes done. But tonight is the big Yule party and I always take a BIG pan. I have had trouble getting those done without over browning the top. Also I never measured my milk just pouring in until the potatoes were almost covered. It has always been a question as to whether they would be hydrated correctly. I will try this method today.

I also add a pinch or two of cayenne pepper (about 1/8 tsp) and a few grates of fresh nutmeg stirred into the milk before pouring it over the potatoes......very flavorful. You can also smash the garlic clove first to release even more garlicky flavor.

  • @gidelilah8027
    @gidelilah8027 Рік тому +3

    Hello, this looks fantastic! I really would like to make mine rich and creamy too but I don't like cheese. I don't mind adding a thin layer on top for presentation (so it comes out of the oven brown on top and bubbling) but how can I make the dish just as creamy as yours without adding any cheese in between each layer of potato?
    Is it OK to place the dish under the grill at the end just so that it crisps up on the top and comes out bubbling and piping hot? I only ask because although it's going in the oven for for quite a long time, it's only on a low heat setting.
    I get sick if I eat food which isn't served more or less as soon as it comes out of the oven but I don't want the potato slices to slide around when trying to cut it especially as I intend to use a round metal cutter to slice it (I don't know the actual name for this). Could I leave it to cool down a bit, cut it and then place it back in the oven for a while so it's nice and hot when it's served? Surely, placing it in the microwave won't spoil it? Some potato dishes don't taste nice when heated up (or re-heated when stone cold) in the microwave.
    I like a subtle garlic flavour too but I like my potatoes sliced slightly thicker than yours. Will this prevent the top slices from being infused or permeated with the garlic that was rubbed on the dish. I'm not too sure if I should place the rest of the garlic clove in with the milk and potatoes when it's simmering in case it becomes too strong for me. Would adding a small amount of homemade roasted garlic purée to the milk help to flavour the top slices of potato? If so, when should I add it and how much should I use?
    As I live in the UK, should I use a floury potato like King Edwards to help thicken the sauce or would the potato just break up or turn into mashed potato?
    I would appreciate it if you wouldn't mind answering my questions for me please.
    Thank you very much.
    Very best wishes,
    Gigi,.

    • @BiggMo
      @BiggMo 4 роки тому +5

      maria Xenou: it breaks because you evaporated to much water from the sauce which ruins the ratio needed for a proper emulation. That’s one reason for the milk and cream, not just cream - higher water content. Sometimes you can whisk water slowly back to a broken sauce and rescue it.
