Ingredients
Instructions
- In a greased baking dish or 2-quart casserole, alternate layers of sliced potatoes, chopped green peppers, and minced onions.
- Combine the remaining ingredients: milk, salt, and mushroom soup. Pour this mixture over the layered vegetables.
- Cover the dish with a lid or aluminum foil and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
- Uncover and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For a rich flavor, consider adding shredded cheese between the layers or using a combination of milk and cream. You can substitute the green pepper with chopped spinach or kale for a nutritional boost. If you prefer a smoky taste, try adding cooked bacon or ham. Ensure the potatoes are evenly sliced for consistent cooking, and soak them in cold water to prevent browning before assembly.
Serving Suggestions
Scalloped Potatoes Supreme pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or a side of roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. It makes an excellent accompaniment to grilled meats or serves as a hearty side for holiday gatherings. For a complete dinner, consider serving it alongside Mixed Cut Green Bean Casserole for a comforting and satisfying feast.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover scalloped potatoes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, preheat the oven to 350°F, cover the dish with foil to retain moisture, and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until heated through. You can also microwave individual portions for a quick reheating option.
