TB’s Scalloped Taters
June 30, 2007 at 11:45 am | In Uncategorized |
I made a few changes to make do with what I had at home, since I’ve sworn off grocery shopping for as long as I possibly can…
- I used soy creamer that was already open in the fridge. as opposed to soy milk that wasn’t.
- of course I had to replace the onion with shallots, seeing as I am an addict and all…
- I threw in double the paprika because I love it so.
- 2 huge cloves garlic, we fear vampires.
- grapeseed oil instead of margarine. no reason for that, I just was closer to the bottle of oil than I was to the tub of marg. see a pattern here? yes. laziness, that’s right!
- used white potatoes, not sure what the difference is and if there actually is one, but that’s what I had in the fridge.
- I opened a jar of roasted red bell peppers to decorate the rice salad from one the previous entries, and since I had to throw 2 older jars because they mold faster than you can say “ew”, I thought it’d be a good idea to slice them up and add them to the scalloped potatoes and all.
- must have been the potatoes I used, or maybe the baking dish was a bit too full for the steam to do its work, but I had to cover the dish again with aluminum foil and bake it for about 15 minutes more for the potatoes to be tender.
absolutely outstanding, TB.

BEAUTIFUL pics (way to put that new camera to work!) and once again you made so many smart changes. I’m so gonna add more paprika next time, and the shallots sound like an awesome addition. It’s always so fun to see what you do to recipes! p.s. I have never used grapeseed oil but since you use it all the time I bought a bottle the last time i was at TJ’s. Haven’t taken it out for a spin yet, but I’m sure it’ll be an awesome change from olive and canola, my two standbys…

TB!! next time I have everything at home, I will try your version exactly the way you made it. thank you thank you for sharing the recipe!! it’s perfection.
I like that grapeseed oil can be used on high heat, and has a mild flavor like canola. I use it everywhere! let me know what you think of it when you get a chance to try it.
K! SHALLOTS FOR PRESIDENT!
