Scallops Potato Sauce Mix

 

 

This is a DIY sauce mix for scalloped potatoes

Many a night, I have had a craving for scalloped potatoes because I love scalloped potatoes so much. Unfortunately, I don’t always have a box of them in my pantry, so I’ve resorted to making it homemade, and I have to be honest here, this recipe is so much better than the box stuff. First, I know what ingredients are in the dish without all the added crap that’s in the box version. The older I get, the more clean eating I want to consume. Try this recipe and tell me it’s not better than the box version.

Using a raw potato instead of a dehydrated one? You will want about 1 ½ lbs. of fresh raw potatoes to start. Wash, peel and slice it and use it in a recipe. After 45 minutes, cover the dish and cook for another 10 minutes.
