Make it an entrée by layering the potatoes with ham and cheese! Talk about a one-size fits all […] The perfect side dish to an elegant or celebratory main course, or the welcome addition to any potluck supper, scalloped potatoes are one of those dishes that seem complicated, but are deceptively simple. You'll need to put in a bit of "peeler time" to get the spuds ready for the oven, but after that it's just a long bake and a short standing period to let the sauce thicken. This isn't the old fashioned way my grandma's made scalloped potatoes. There was no white sauce made, it was sliced potatoes layered, first layer had salt pepper and flour sprinkled on,,then another layer of potatoes and another layer of salt, peppers and flour, until potatoes and flour used up in layers.
