What is the dish that you have at every Easter dinner? For me it's my sister scalloped potatoes. They taste sinful but she's taken steps over the years to healthy them up- so they're not too unhealthy.
 
Are you sharing? I am making scalloped potatoes too but am always looking for a better recipe...

Beth, I have most of the recipe- just waiting for White Sauce recipe details...
 
Our Easter dinner is simple, but we HAVE to have the following: ham (spiral cut) with pineapple slice & cherries, potato salad (only my MIL's recipe will do!) and Grands biscuits. Side dishes and desserts are variable.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key ingredients in My Sister's Healthier Scalloped Potatoes?

The key ingredients include potatoes, low-fat milk, reduced-fat cheese, garlic, onion, and a blend of herbs and spices for flavor. These ingredients work together to create a delicious and healthier version of traditional scalloped potatoes.

How do I prepare the potatoes for this dish?

To prepare the potatoes, start by washing and peeling them. Then, slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. This ensures even cooking and helps the potatoes absorb the flavors of the dish.

Can I make My Sister's Healthier Scalloped Potatoes ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the dish ahead of time. Assemble the scalloped potatoes in the baking dish, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or foil, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if baking straight from the fridge.

What makes this version of scalloped potatoes healthier?

This version is healthier because it uses low-fat milk and reduced-fat cheese instead of heavy cream and full-fat cheese. Additionally, it incorporates more vegetables and uses herbs and spices for flavor instead of relying on excess fats or sodium.

What kitchen tools do I need to make this dish?

You will need a sharp knife or mandoline for slicing the potatoes, a large mixing bowl for combining ingredients, a baking dish for cooking, and a whisk for mixing the sauce. Pampered Chef tools like the Mix 'N Chop and the Deep Dish Baker can also be very helpful in preparing this dish.
