Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food commonly associated with European and North American cuisine. This dish typically features thinly sliced potatoes layered in a creamy sauce made from milk or cream, butter, and flour, often seasoned with garlic, nutmeg, or black pepper. Occasionally, cheese is added for extra richness. Scalloped potatoes are oven-baked until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling. While potatoes themselves are a good source of potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, the creamy sauce and added fats make this dish calorie-dense and high in saturated fats. It can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet or made lighter by swapping cream for lower-fat alternatives and reducing the amount of butter or cheese used. Scalloped potatoes are a crowd-pleaser, merging hearty textures and savory flavors into one irresistible side dish.
