Scalloped potatoes

This recipe for scalloped potatoes or potatoes au gratin is foolproof. One of the things I like most about it is that it can be prepared in advance, the day before, and keep refrigerated (since the potatoes are “pre baked” they will not change color) and everyone loves will love it.

They combine perfectly with almost any preparation for its mild flavor and texture. If you want to make these potatoes from one day to the next it is important to take them out of the refrigerator a few hours before, so that they gain room temperature, sthat way the temperature change will not break the baking dish in the oven.

Do you want to prepare the most delicious scalloped potatoes?

This recipe is very easy to prepare and also the result is incredibly good, in addition to the delicious flavor and the crispy texture the gratin crust of cheese at the top gives it.

These scalloped potatoes are a simplified recipe from the French version, called daulphinoise potatoes, the biggest difference is in the type of cheese. In this case we will use reggianito or parmesan and in the traditional recipe gruyere and sometimes the cream is mixed with some white wine and chopped onions.

Scalloped potatoes are perfect accompaniement as a side dish for meat, fish or poultry. My favorite is easy baked salmon as a main dish.
