Scalloped potatoes?

[Bernadine]

What's the trick to getting the potatoes to cook all the way through? Do I need a mandolin the get really thin slices? If so, which do you recommend?

I love scalloped potatoes, but it takes like two hours for the potatoes to cook all the way. I'm hosting a dinner Friday and want to make them to go with ham.

I use my food processor to slice the potatoes. And then cook for one and a half times as long as it says. At least.

We've made skillet scalloped potatoes before (there are a ton of recipes out there) and we like them because we have more control over the actual cooking of the potatoes.

I use a mandoline, and this recipe. Always cooks through nicely.

This recipe is really nice because you can make it in advance and just put the cheese on top before cooking.

I made them in my instant pot before, and it worked out pretty well. It was kind of messy, but it was yummy!

I make mine in the microwave. I think they come out great and they only take about 20 minutes total.

My MIL boils her sliced potatoes before baking. They are delicious.

I don’t bother with a mandoline but I do parboil the potatoes before baking. You can even do that the night before. Then they only take about 1/2 hr to bake.

I use a mandoline and slice super thin.

I also parboil my potatoes for just 10 minutes. It helps!

I would eat them in a heartbeat, but this is my mother's birthday dinner and she'd give major side eye. Lol.

Put them in your own baking dish and she'll never know

Ok, I'm an idiot and was thinking you parboiled the potatoes before you slice them. Boiling the sliced potatoes makes so much more sense.
