Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dish ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the scalloped potatoes up to a day in advance. Simply assemble everything in the casserole dish, cover, and refrigerate. When ready to bake, allow it to come to room temperature before putting it in the oven.
What if I don't have half and half?
If you don't have half and half, you can easily make a substitute by mixing equal parts of milk and heavy cream. Alternatively, using whole milk will work, but the dish may be less creamy.
How can I make this dish vegetarian?
This recipe is already vegetarian, but to enhance the flavor, consider using vegetable broth instead of hot water or adding vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms to the mix for added texture and taste.
