Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Expertise: Intermediate
Ease: Intermediate
Customizing: I’ve made this recipe a few times, altering it slightly. The last time I made it I didn’t use carrots, reduced the amount of cheese (its really cheesy), and used marble rather than cheddar cheese.
Repeatability: Its a giant dish! You’ll have cheesy potatoes as leftovers for a couple days.
