Maw Maw’s Scalloped Potatoes
While our family often chooses rice over potatoes, nothing can compare to the warmth and comfort that a potato dish brings. Growing up my Mom often made Betty Crocker’s Scalloped Potatoes straight out of the box. In my mind, it was the potato equivalent to Kraft Mac & Cheese, but we loved it. Now that my Mom has a little more time on her hands she wouldn’t dream of serving Scalloped Potatoes out of a box and has perfected her recipe. This dish may take a little time, but it is one of my favorite ways to eat potatoes. Warm, creamy and cheesy, this is a dish that your whole family will enjoy.
