RECIPE INDEX

Always remember a recipe is
simply a guide.
Ingredients

2 pounds of russet potatoes or 5 large
potatoes.

2 tablespoon unsalted butter

2 cups half and half milk
3 cups of low sodium chicken broth
4 cloves of finely grated garlic
1 knob of freshly grated ginger
1 red jalalepeno crushed (optional)
or
1 tsp red pepper flakes

1 whole white onion cubed

1 tablespoon of green seasoning
1 teaspoon flour
1 bunch of cilantro
2 stalks of green onions
1 teaspoon of 5 spice
salt and black pepper to taste
Melt the two tablespoon of butter in a wide frying
pan on the stove top.
Add your onion and saute for 2 minutes.
Add your green seasoning, ginger, garlic and pepper.
Allow to saute for another minute. It will
smell heavenly!
Heat your oven to 375F at this time.
Add your flour. This is your thickening agent.
Allow the flour to cook for 5 minutes.
Keep stirring it.
Add your broth, milk, all spice, salt, black pepper
and your chopped green onions.
Stir and allow the mixture to get to a gentle
bubble. The sauce should be coating your
spoon as shown above.
Layer on more potatoes, then more sauce
and more cheees...until your pan is full or you
run out of potatoes.
Now we are going to top this off with more cheese.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Test the potatoes with a
toothpick. If the tooth pick goes through easily then remove the
foil. If the potatoes still feels a little hard recover with the foil and
bake for a few more minutes.
After removing the foil you will continue to bake for 10 more
minutes so that the top browns.
This is how my bubbly, crisp scalloped
potatoes came out...how did yours?
Okay here is the manual part of this recipe. Now comes
the slicing of all those potatoes. You can use a
mandolin or a knife. You will need 1/2 inch thick slices. I
used a knife. But you have to work fast so the potatoes
does not turn brown.
I used an 8 x 8 baking pan. After slicing I tossed my chopped cilantro
in with my potatoes. It looks prettier...I think!
Start adding some of the sauce to the bottom of the pan. Layer on
top some of the potatoes. Add more sauce to cover, then layer on
some cheese.
