I baked a ham yesterday and while looking for something to go with it for
dinner tonight I found this recipe:
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/t...ipe/index.html

By far this is the best scalloped potatoes I've ever tasted. I used red
potatoes and added some low fat cheddar cheese between the layers rather
than parm, but I did put parm on the top layer. I also added a little bit
of butter dotted over the potatoes between the layers but it really didn't
need it. Save yourself the fat and calories.

For Christmas I made scalloped potatoes, using both Yukon Golds and sweet
potatoes. I made a white sauce - type of sauce, first making a light roux
and then adding chicken broth, some spices etc., some milk, some shredded
sharp cheddar and pouring all over the taters. Just for fun I added some
beer to the mixture, it added a nice taste touch, people loved it.

I topped with breadcrumbs and some butter...

I made these the day before, it's a dish that profits from some
"aging"...just warm up before serving.

Both of those recipes sound good, yours and Cheryl's. I would not have
mixed Yukon Golds and sweet potatoes, but I will give it a try.

I've never tried mixing potatoes and yams either. It sounds intriguing.

I'm starting to wonder about scalloped yams.
They have a lot here right now due to the season, and they are
inexpensive.

Supposed to be healthier than spuds too.

I have seen recipes of them scalloped with apples or quinces. They
always looked very good to me.

I have made them, both with a savory taste and with a sweet taste. One of
the earlier recipes posted, though, I would not make. I simply cannot
conceive of combining yams and any white potato. It has no appeal to me.

Yah, but I prefer a _savory_ recipe. ;-) I never serve yams as a sweet
dish. It's just not appealing to me. I usually just bake them, then
serve them as is. I peel them for myself and add butter and salt, just
like spuds.

I've sometimes pre-peeled and pressure cooked them, then mashed them,
then added some cheese and butter for another savory dish.

I just don't get the whole marshmallow thing. <shudder> But I'm not
much of a "sweets" person anymore...

If I were to scallop them, I'd treat them the same as potatoes.

Come to think of it tho', apples can be served in a savory dish. I've
sometimes used up "musgovian" apples in chicken and pork stir fry's.
Some of the best turkey dressings I've had at work included apples.

As far as I know, I've never eaten a quince. What do they taste like?

Quinces do have some culinary value; they're just not a fruit you'd
generally want to eat out of hand. Quince paste with Manchego cheese is a
classic tapa. Quinces make a pleasant and intriguing addition to a lamb stew
with root vegetables and Persian spices.

I think it's also a traditional Yule item.

Something about finding the pip making you the Yule king?

I love them. I don't do deep frying at home, but there are several
restaurants locally where I can get them. One serves them generously
sprinkled with cayenne.

I don't eat many potatoes either due to low carbing. Sweet potatoes/yams
are supposed to have a lower GI value and they are higher in nutrients
including beta carotene so are not so bad for you.

I've not had much of an issue with deep frying being messy when I do it.
I have a small fry daddy that holds (I think) 4 cups of oil. I use
peanut oil and it really does not smell up the house.

Yeah, quinces need to be cooked before eating. They turn a lovely
rose color when cooked. When ripening, they put out the most
wonderful aroma.

I have several in my fruit bowl ripening now.

I've done scalloped sweet potaters alone and in combo with other taters as I
mentioned above...

One time I made scalloped sweet potatoes with a cheese sauce spiced up with
some Mae Ploy chili sauce...you can also use sriracha, mustard or mustard
powder, etc. Once I topped with crushed pecans, very good...

When you combine the sweets and the whites you can "kill two birds with one
stone", so to speak, and there are lots of ways to vary the recipes. People
like the tater combo, the tastes and textures of the different types go well
together...

If I'm going to be present for the holidaze folks know I'll take care of the
sweet potatoe side of things, none of those horrid gloppish casserole
marshmallow things...

For Thanksgiving I made a stir - fired sweet potato thing, for Christmas the
sweet potato - Yukon Gold scalloped casserole...both were big hits.

Experiment, you can't go wrong...!!!

That's true with a lot of cooking ideas. <g>

I think I have enough of a handle on things by now, it should at least
be edible if not repeatable...

There is always that. <g>

My sister, brother in law, dad and I all agree that nowadays, we can
cook better than most restaurants so it's better to buy the fresh
ingredients and cook "in".

Not only is it cheaper, but most often a LOT lower in salt content!

I just don't get the amount of salt added to most restaurant food
nowadays. It's my biggest complaint.

However, when I hit my weight loss goal, I still plan a night at outback
with one of THEIR baked spuds!
