Scalloped Potatoes {Patate alla Besciamella}

Posted by in All Recipes, Sauces, Sides, Vegetarian | 189 comments

What is it about white foods that I just HAVE to have them.  Pasta, rice, bread, POTATOES. You name it, they’re my kryptonite. Perhaps it’s their delicious carby starchy goodness that sucks me in. At one point I foolishly tried to cut out white foods from my diet and guess what, it was UGLY. For the sake of everyone else, of course, I immediately went back to consuming them again.

Potatoes you can dress them up, dress them down. Whatever way you slice them, I’ll take them. Next time you’d like creamy dreamy scalloped potatoes {don’t grab the box kind GASP} make these instead. If you have a mandoline it takes no time at all.

    I had a super cheap mandoline that didn’t even accomodate apples or slice well so I tossed it. This would be awesome. Another item of theres I like is the box grater. Can you believe I don’t own one?!
