"Striking the perfect balance between elegance and indulgence, scalloped potatoes are a satisfying side dish that pairs beautifully with a vast selection of meat and veggie sides. Prepped from scratch, this dish does require a fair amount of effort, with the peeled spuds sliced precisely into delicate rounds and carefully layered up with the creamy sauce. However, if you want to enjoy the creamy, carby goodness of this dinnertime favorite without the fuss, there's a simple solution. Reach for boxed scalloped potatoes instead."
"A typical package of scalloped potatoes will come with a powdered seasoning mix and pre-cut, dried potato slices. Most require the addition of boiling water, milk, and butter to the dry ingredients, before everything is baked in a casserole dish until the sauce has thickened and the potatoes are tender. But, you don't always have to follow the instructions on the box to a tee. There's also the option to elevate the mix from its basic form, into something even more indulgent and flavorful."
Scalloped potatoes offer a balance of elegance and indulgence and serve as a versatile side for meat and vegetables. From-scratch preparation requires peeling, precise slicing, layering, and baking, which takes time and effort. Boxed scalloped potato mixes contain powdered seasoning and pre-cut dried potato slices and typically call for boiling water, milk, and butter before baking until thickened and tender. The boxed mix saves chopping, cleanup, and reduces baking time. The mix can be upgraded by substituting or adding ingredients, increasing seasonings, or adding textural elements to create a richer, more homemade result. Extra cheese is a simple, effective enhancement.
