Sharing is caring!

It’s officially the start of holiday season and I will be sharing holiday recipe ideas that you can not only use around this time of the year – but that will also be amazing anytime of the year.

This recipe is for scalloped potatoes and it tastes amazing! This is definitely a great recipe to accompany poultry like chicken , Turkey, Turkey wings , etc.

I love scalloped potatoes because they just scream comfort food. Normally I have to wait to go to a fancy steakhouse to get them but this recipe definitely surpasses the flavor of any restaurant I have had.

I parboil the potatoes for 8 minutes so that the potatoes cook evenly. When I previously made scalloped potatoes and baked raw potatoes, all of the potatoes did not cook evenly which resulted in some hard pieces of potato and some soft. That problem is now obsolete with this recipe.

As always if you try this recipe, let me know how it turned out for you !

Glam Kitchen Tips

-Do not substitute the heavy cream for anything – you must use heavy cream because of the thick texture

-If you are using a cast iron skillet make sure it is very large – if not it will overflow in the oven

-If you do not parboil the potatoes and add them raw – add 30-40 minutes of cook time to make sure they get fully cooked
