tends2dogs — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 14:34:38 GMT

I am not a good cook. If anyone has an easy recipe for this, I would REALLY appreciate it.

I know I could GOGLE it, but I came here first because I am usually never disappointed.

TIA

If you are not a good cook, Betty Crocker makes about a half dozen box mixes for scalloped potatoes, au gratin, etc.

I'm not a big enough fan of scalloped potatoes to ever make them from scratch personally. I've used the boxed mix before, family ate it up.

@software I have used those, too, with success. I just happened to have a bag of potatoes and ham that I would like to use up.

Thanks for your response!

@lolakimono Too funny, NO! I don't like to cook. I am a "bit" sorry to say. I wouldn't have an oven if I didn't have to LOL.

@IamMrsG I have this recipe and have made it often for family get togethers.

I may have to tweak it using peeled, sliced potatoes.

@dex Do you melt your cheese in the white sauce?

~~you can and then add some more on the top if you want lots of cheese.The scalloped potato is prettying forgiving.If it is drying out too much in the oven you can add a little more milk or cream.~~

~~you can see a similar recipe if you look up old fashioned scalloped potatos.~~

@tends2dogs this is hands down the best and easiest recipe for scalloped potatoes. It is a legend on these boards:

Aunt Bertie's Scalloped Potatoes

Thinly slice enough raw Russet potatoes to fill a baking casserole the size you need. I use a deep corning ware dish. The number of potatoes you use depends on the number of people you are serving, but do not make for fewer than four, as the method won't work. Use Russet potatoes or it won’t turn out right.

Salt the potatoes lightly if desired.

Pour enough heavy cream over the top of the potatoes to come within one inch BELOW the top of the potatoes.

That's it ladies, just two ingredients, potatoes and cream. You'll find that people will swear that you put cheese in them. They come out thick and rich and delicious.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 to 2 hours, depending on size of dish. They should be crusty brown on top and tender when pierced with a knife.

This recipe is exactly how my Grandmother taught me to make them,

I do add onions to mine. If i don't have heavy cream on hand I have made it with evaporated milk and they came out great.

I have also added chunks of ham if I have it in the house. I like it with the ham too.

@tends2dogs that Aunt Bertie's recipe is the bomb. I make it often in the cooler months and I still can't believe there is no cheese in it! I add a bit of onion in mine and since I cook for one it's great to just slice up one or two potatoes and onions and have a great, fresh side dish . . .

Hi, G! @IamMrsG

This recipe is my go-to when having a ham dinner. My kids loved it, & now my grandkids do too.

I give you props for posting it, G, as it has (horrors!) cream of soup.

My recipe is slightly different, as it calls for cream of chicken soup and chopped green onions.

A bit of background:

Our family calls these potatoes "Mrs. Bailey's Potatoes", because when I was a very young mom, a quite elderly Mrs. Bailey gave me her recipe - after I'd tasted them at a pot luck.

What was worth noting, is that she'd made them in a crock pot - minus the cornflake crumbs, & they were delicious!

Anyway, I often use the crock pot when making them, as it frees up the oven for other things.

Once the Internet materialized, I was surprised to see how many people make these potatoes!

One year at holiday time when I wanted to make them, almost every store was sold out of the frozen hash brown (cubes).

I kept running into the same women, store after store, because we were all making the same recipe.
