Simple Scalloped Potatoes

Cultural Context

Scalloped potatoes have roots in 18th-century French cuisine, where they were known as 'gratin dauphinois.' This comforting dish has become a staple in American households, often served at family gatherings and holiday meals. Its creamy texture and cheesy flavor make it a beloved side dish that pairs well with various meats. Today, variations abound, with some adding ingredients like ham or different types of cheese, but the classic version remains a favorite.
