stouffer’s used to make scalloped potatoes that were really, really good. they were like crack to me, i could eat the family sized container in one sitting if i let myself. they became a seasonal item and now they appear to have disappeared completely.
so my question is has anyone had these and know a recipe that tastes similar, or know a brand of frozen ones that are close? these potatoes were not very cheesy and didn’t have ham. i don’t want scalloped poatoes with ham, just the potatoes alone.
Here’s one of about a million online recipes. Not having had the ones you’re talking about, I can’t say they would taste the same, but your could experiment. IMO, scalloped potatoes shouldn’t have cheese in them, but to each his own.
i agree i am not a fan of cheesy scalloped potatoes. thanks for the link, those actually look very close to the ones i was talking about, i will give that recipe a try. thank you!
i am still interested in different recipes and other frozen brands so everyone else feel free to chip in.
on preview: thanks alice the goon, those look good too!
It’s hardly a trend. Maybe people have just discovered it in your part of the world, but the French having been eating potatoes and crème fraiche for quite some time. It’s also a fairly odd reason not to eat something.
How long would a cooked scalloped potatoes dish like the one linked last? I have a green salad with chicken for my lunch each day and I could use something potato-y to fill me up more. I’d like to make a batch to use for the week but not sure it would last?
Of course they have. But people have been eating muffins for a long time too, and they became trendy a few years ago. People have been eating chipotle chilis for quite a while, too, and now everything has chipotles in it. I’m not saying that crème fraiche isn’t a valuable and traditional ingredient. But when South Park makes fun of people using it, it’s definitely ‘hip’ and ‘trendy’.
It may be an odd reason, but I come from The Land of Trends and now live in a region of the country that follows a lot of trends. There comes a point when it just becomes tiresome.
My original comment was supposed to be a little tongue-in-cheek, based on the South Park episode. It wasn’t meant as a serious bashing of crème fraiche. Hijack not intended.
so, they came out pretty decent, although they’re a touch on the bland side. i skipped the nutmeg in the recipe, because i didn’t have any on hand, so i’ll be sure to add it next time and see if it makes a difference. i might try adding garlic too.
I have always hated scalloped potatoes. However, I’ve never had any other than my mother’s version. It is possible that, as good a cook as she was in most things, her scalloped potatoes sucked. Are there really good ones?
There are amazing scalloped potatoes, but they require a sauce made with chicken broth and milk, not just milk, small cubes of good cheddar, and larger cubes of good ham. Mmm, potatoes.
