Would you like your scalloped potatoes to have a thicker consistency and richer potato taste? Use instant potatoes instead of flour as a thickening agent.
A few sliced mushrooms and some dried minced onion add extra flavor and depth to basic scalloped potatoes. Use dried minced onion in place of the shallots in to save yourself a little time chopping.
If your scalloped potatoes recipe calls for more milk than you have on hand, add in some cream-style corn. Combine it with the milk you have and layer it with the potatoes, onions and flour. Your scalloped potatoes will taste rich and slightly sweet.
Leftover scalloped potatoes? Add the extras to corn chowder for a more filling and flavorful dish. For an easy weeknight soup, combine the leftover potatoes with milk, chicken bouillon and grated carrots in a saucepan. Sprinkle in some parsley and let everything simmer for 20 minutes.
Reduce the pile of dirty dishes and save on cleanup time by mixing all the ingredients for your scalloped potatoes right in a greased casserole dish. Start with the dry ingredients, mix in the liquids, then add the remaining ingredients.
