Here's a rich, comforting side dish that bakes up golden brown. It's a wonderful recipe for the colder months. I often serve these potatoes with my Swiss Steak.—Mildred Stubbs, Rockingham, North Carolina

I needed a larger serving size than the recipe, so I double it and they came out so good! Using a 13 x 9 pan, I just sliced potatoes until the pan was almost full, doubled the sauce and baking it for about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I removed the foil about halfway through. Like a previous reviewer had mentioned, they looked pretty soupy after about 45 minutes, so I just kept baking until the bubbling sauce looked thicker. The potatoes turned out great. I have finally found a scallop potato recipe that is perfect. This will be the go-to recipe from now on.

I made this recipe for Easter dinner. I had always been more of an augratin fan, but this recipe made me reconsider...I loved it! And even the reheated leftovers were good!

This is excellent! If I'm in a time crunch, I add about 1 teaspoon minced, dehydrated onion to the sauce instead of chopping fresh (then I only have to layer the potatoes and sauce). I find the time listed in the recipe to be a bit off. After 35-40 minutes, the sauce is still a bit on the soupy side, and the potatoes not quite done, so I remove the cover and bake them about 15 minutes more. Just the little extra time makes the sauce creamy instead of soupy, and the potatoes tender.
