🍽️ Expert Tips
- It’s important to cut the potato slices so they are evenly sized. Otherwise, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- You can exchange the milk for any other milk alternative.
- Prefer a different kind of cheese? No problem, swap the parmesan for the pepper jack, cheddar, or mozzarella.
- Look for clean and smooth potatoes that show no eyes or softness or bruising.
- You can swap red potatoes out for a russet, Yukon gold, or even another type of potato.
👩🍳Recipe FAQs
Yep, but the texture is going to be different if you do. Red potatoes have very thin skins so it’s not as offensive as a thick skinned potato. Try it and see what you like.
Sure, we enjoy the texture and the way red potatoes taste, but you can certainly use Yukon gold, russets, or another variety. The recipe is very versatile so making adjustments is easy.
Let the homemade cheesy scalloped potatoes cool down all the way. Then put them in an airtight container. They will last in the fridge for 3-4 days.
Place the easy potatoes on a microwave-safe plate. Cover with a paper towel and microwave until hot.
Additionally, you can reheat them in the oven. Heat oven to 350 degrees and heat them for 10-15 minutes or until hot.
Au gratin refers to scraping and a crispy baked topped. So this slice potatoes in the oven topped with parmesan cheese is the perfect fit for the name used.
