The article discusses the author's family's annual tradition of serving scalloped potatoes at Easter dinner, highlighting the comfort and deliciousness of this dish. Despite differing opinions on other holiday side dishes with her husband, both agree that scalloped potatoes are the best. The recipe features Yukon Gold potatoes, onions, thyme, and cheese, although the author accepts the technical distinction between scalloped potatoes and potatoes au gratin. Tips for preparation include cutting potatoes evenly, making them ahead of time, and pairing them with fresh spring vegetables for a delightful meal.
If you're not familiar, they consist of thin potato slices baked in a creamy sauce. When I make them, I add onions and thyme for savory depth of flavor.
Use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a wonderful creamy texture that makes this casserole feel extra-comforting.
Make them ahead. Like all the best holiday side dishes, scalloped potatoes are great for making ahead! Fully prepare them up to 2 days in advance.
I say, call it what you like- this creamy, cheesy potato dish is absolutely delicious either way.
