WHY ARE MY CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES STILL HARD?

  1. Your slices are too thick. The thicker the slice, the longer they take to cook. Just cook them a little longer, but make sure you cut them to ¼” to avoid this problem
  2. You removed the foil too soon. Do not remove the foil before time. Make sure they are covered for at least 85 minutes.
  3. Your cheese sauce was too thick. Cook your sauce just until the cheese melts. Do not reduce it any further. If your sauce is too thick, add a couple of tablespoons of milk to the casserole and bake it, covered, until potatoes are done.

WHAT TO SERVE WITH CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES?

I serve cheesy scalloped potatoes as a side dish, so I complement it with grilled chicken or steak.

If you have time, you might want to add a salad to make this recipe part of a complete and balanced meal.

CAN YOU FREEZE CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES?

You can freeze cheesy scalloped potatoes before baking or after. If you freeze them before baking, add the cheese sauce over potatoes and onions, let the sauce cool down, cover with plastic wrap and freeze.

Before baking, cover with aluminum foil and increase baking time by 15 mins. If you freeze the casserole after baking, do not broil to brown sauce. Allow cooling before wrapping in plastic wrap and freezing.

When ready to serve, remove the plastic wrap, cover with aluminum foil, and bake at 400F for 20 to 30 minutes until heated through. Remove foil and broil for 5 minutes to brown top.
