Ingredients
Instructions
- Alternate layers of sliced potatoes and sweet potatoes in a baking dish, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper between layers.
- In a bowl, mix the cream of mushroom soup with milk until well combined.
- Pour the soup and milk mixture evenly over the layered vegetables.
- Bake in a preheated 350°F oven for 1 hour or until bubbly and golden on top.
Tips & Substitutions
For extra flavor, consider adding grated cheese between the layers or topping with breadcrumbs before baking. If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute it with cream of chicken soup or a homemade white sauce. Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly for consistent cooking. This dish works wonderfully alongside roasted meats or as a hearty vegetarian option.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these scalloped potatoes as a comforting side dish for holiday gatherings or family dinners. They pair beautifully with glazed ham or roasted turkey. For a complete meal, consider adding a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables on the side. This dish is also a delightful addition to any potluck, offering a hearty vegetarian option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, cover the dish with foil and warm in a 350°F oven until heated through, about 20-25 minutes. You can also microwave individual servings for a quick meal, but the oven method helps maintain the creamy texture.
