Ingredients and Variations
Potatoes – Yellow potatoes are best for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape and have thinner skins so you don’t have to peel them, but any variety will work. A bag of frozen diced potatoes will work in a pinch!
Ham – Leftover ham, sliced summer sausage, or even crumbled bacon provides the perfect salty complement to the rich and creamy sauce and starchy potatoes.
Sauce – Cream of chicken soup makes up the creamy, flavorful base this recipe needs. Cream of mushroom, cream of celery, or even French onion soup will work as well. For a thinner sauce, stir in some half-and-half or milk in Step 3.
Cheese – Choose your cheese! Cheddar has the best, boldest flavor, but you could go with Monterey jack, mozzarella, or a Mexican cheese blend, if desired.
Variations – Mix in some spinach, sliced mushrooms, diced celery, or a bag of peas and carrots to the casserole to bulk up the casserole with a little extra nutrition!
