I’ve got a thing for scalloped potatoes.

Creamy, cheesy, potato-y goodness.

I’ve pretty much got a thing for anything creamy, cheesy and potato-y.

I love how easy this dish is to make ahead! You can getit  ready and fully cooked, then stick it in the fridge for a day or even two, and just pop it in the oven when you need it.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about adding different flavours to scalloped potatoes. It’s such an easy dish to add some personality to!

Since I made this Creamy Nacho Potato Soup a while back, I figured it’d be pretty simple to add those same flavours to these scalloped potatoes.

I just love the flavour in these potatoes! It’s definitely not your usual scalloped potatoes, but the spices aren’t so overwhelming that it you couldn’t pair it with a variety of things. It has a nice, subtle nacho spice to it — just enough to mix things up a bit.

    Hi Ashley.

    One question please. In your instructions when you say layer potatoes in baking dish, are we assuming you mean to say either (madeleine, scallop, slice thinly) the potatoes first then layer in dish?

    I’m sure it goes without saying, but for those that are not sure, I just wanted clarification.

    Thanks! Can’t wait to try!!
