I would love to write about things I think about and recent current events, but it just causes comments that I need to delete. I don't need the stress. Being an older woman already makes me invisible and open to criticism. It's amazing what people can say when they don't know you, so what do I do? I cook, even if it is for myself. I had a birthday a few days ago and wanted comfort food. This is the result.
What is this? It is a dry mix to make Scalloped Potatoes. I really like them but making them from scratch requires planning ahead and having the proper ingredients on hand. The scalloped potatoes at Costco are really good, but the carton is too big for me and they don't freeze that well. This dry mix is perfect for me. I can quickly make the portion I need. I would like to give credit to the person who came up with the original recipe but I don't know where I got it. The original recipe included dried chives and minced onion but I left that out. I actually made half the amount in this recipe because I don't need so much. I stirred all the dry ingredients together and stored it in a quart jar. I sealed the jar with a vacuum sealer.
Scalloped Potato Dry Mix
2 Cups powdered milk
1 Cup flour
1 Cup cornstarch
1/2 Cup dried parsley
2 T. salt
4 t. mustard powder
2 t. pepper
1 t. garlic powder
1 t. Italian seasoning
Put 3 cups of peeled and sliced potatoes in a buttered baking dish
Mix together 1/2 Cup of dry mix and 2 3/4 Cups water.
Pour over raw potatoes. I added a 1/2 cup of diced ham. You could add some diced onion if you like that flavor.
Dot with 2 T of butter
Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
