Take the Chill Out of March with a Perfect Casserole to Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day…

The perfect casserole for any occasion, especially holiday feasts like the upcoming St. Patrick’s Day. These super scalloped potatoes compliment any main dish your serve at your
table. Tender potatoes in a creamy onion sauce baked to golden perfection would
make any mouth water. Whether you’re serving spiral ham, pork chops, poultry or
beef, this tasty side-dish makes six servings to share with family, friends, or
friends of friends. With a prep time of 25 minutes, cook time of 1 hour and 20
minutes, and a rest time of 15 minutes for a total of 1 hour and 45 minutes, you’ve
got plenty of time to visit with your company, and enjoy a glass of your favorite
libation. May I suggest a pint of green beer or perhaps a dram of Irish Whiskey? Slainte!

Super Side Dish
Scalloped Potatoes

¼ cup butter

1 large onion,
diced

2 cloves garlic,
minced

¼ cup flour2 cups milk

1 cup chicken
broth

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

3 pounds of white
potatoes, sliced about ⅛” thick

Salt and pepper to
taste

Preheat oven to 350°F

Sauce

To make the sauce, melt butter, onion, and
garlic over medium-low heat. Cook until onion is softened, about 3 minutes. Add
flour and cook for 1-2 minutes.

Reduce heat to low. Combine milk and
broth. Add a small amount at a time whisking to thicken. The mixture will
become very thick, continue adding a little bit of liquid at a time whisking
until smooth.

Once all the liquid has been added, bring
to a boil over medium heat while continuing to whisk. Stir in salt and pepper
and let boil 1 minute.

Grease a 9 x 13 baking dish. Place ⅓ of
the potatoes in the bottom and season with salt and pepper. Pour ⅓ of the cream
sauce over top.

Repeat layers ending with cream sauce.
Cover and bake for 45 minutes.

Uncover and bake for an additional 35-45
minutes or until golden brown, and potatoes are tender. Broil for 3-4 minutes
to obtain a golden top.

Allow to rest for 15 minutes before
serving.

This casserole is also a wonderful
side-dish to include at your holiday get-togethers too, making a great
substitute for mashed or roast potatoes. Try it. You just might love it! Once
dinner is done, and you’ve got some free time on your hands, why not dig into
your next read? May I suggest a visit to mysterious Fairy Falls, or if you’re feeling really
adventurous, a trip back in time with The
Last Timekeepers? Whichever you choose, either series will
take you on a journey far, far away from entertaining the masses.

Here’s a glimpse
of the premises of both my young adult series:
