Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort dish with roots in European and American cuisine. Made from thinly sliced potatoes layered in a creamy sauce typically comprised of milk or heavy cream, butter, and often enriched with cheese, this dish is then baked to golden perfection. It’s seasoned with garlic, onion, and sometimes herbs like thyme for added flavor. While scalloped potatoes are a rich source of carbohydrates and provide potassium and vitamin C from the potatoes, their nutritional profile is heavily influenced by the generous use of dairy and fats, which may contribute to higher levels of saturated fat and calories. Moderation is key when enjoying this hearty dish, and some recipes can be modified with lighter dairy alternatives to enhance its nutritional balance. Scalloped potatoes are especially popular at gatherings and holiday meals, showcasing a savory indulgence that pairs well with a variety of main courses.
