Although it has its origins in French cuisine, the beloved scalloped potatoes have become a staple in Southern households because to its delectable cheese-laden makeover. The original potatoes au gratin recipe has made its way over the seas and into American kitchens, where it has become a beloved side dish thanks to the harmonious blend of potatoes, creamy sauce, and melting cheese. Here we’ll take a cue from the classic cheesy version that has become a comfort food classic: baked scalloped potatoes with a southern twist. You may be wondering, “Why would anyone want to make this?” Well, it’s a significant way to turn a few basic ingredients into a meal that’s warm and comforting—ideal for potlucks, family events, or any time you want a taste of the South.
A wide variety of main courses go well with baked cheesy scalloped potatoes. They are really delicious with grilled ribs, lemon-herb chicken, or a juicy roasted ham. Steamed green beans or a refreshing salad will cut through the richness of the creamy sauce. Also, to round things off, a fruity, light wine like Pinot Noir or crisp Chardonnay would be perfect.
