Why these skillet scalloped potatoes are actually a classic potato au gratin
In short: While purists might classify this dish as a potato au gratin, these skillet scalloped potatoes offer a rich, cheesy side dish perfect for large dinners. Learn how to layer, season, and bake this comforting meal using a cast iron skillet for optimal results.
This recipe utilizes 3lb of huckleberry gold potatoes layered with fresh rosemary and salt in a buttered 12-inch cast iron skillet. The base of the dish is a stovetop-prepared sauce made from butter, flour, milk, cream, whole grain mustard, nutmeg, and 2 cups of old cheddar cheese.
After pouring the sauce over the potatoes, the dish bakes at 350ºF for 45 to 60 minutes. A final topping of the remaining 1 cup of cheddar is added for a quick 5-minute finish. The result is a versatile side that works well for large meals or as a leftover base for breakfast.
