Scalloped Potatoes
Scalloped potatoes are a traditional baked casserole featuring thinly sliced potatoes layered with cream or milk and often enriched with cheese. The dish develops a rich, creamy texture as the potatoes soften during baking, with a golden-brown surface forming from the reduced dairy and melted cheese. While providing calcium from dairy components, this comfort food staple is typically higher in calories and saturated fat compared to plain potato preparations. Originating in North American cuisine, scalloped potatoes are commonly served as a hearty side dish for roasted meats and holiday meals.
