scalloped potatoes

Baked layered spuds

Scalloped potatoes are thinly sliced potatoes baked in a creamy sauce, typically with milk or cream and sometimes cheese, until tender and golden on top.

The dish takes its name from the scalloped baking dish traditionally used, or from the overlapping arrangement of potato slices resembling scallop shells.
