Two Potato Scallop

November 11, 2014 | Easter

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

 Two Potato Scallop is the perfect sweet and salty side dish.

Two Potato Scallop | Garnish & Glaze

Noooo!!!!  It’s November 11th and we just got our first snow fall.  Booo! (thumbs down!)  The only thing that gives me comfort about fall being over and winter setting in for the the next 5 months is this Two Potato Scallop recipe.  Ultimate comfort food my friends! … and of course cranking up the heat, drinking hot cocoa, and wearing two layers of socks helps too.Two Potato Scallop | Garnish & Glaze

These are THE BEST scallop potatoes ever!  Adding the yams (Yes, they are yams.  The whole world seems to call them sweet potatoes… but they are yams.) really brings this dish to a whole new level!  It’s sweet AND salty!!!!  I am crazy about the hint of sweetness from the yams in combo with the regular potatoes.  Plus, you’ve got way more vitamins in there now.  Hello vitamin A!  Oh and the crispy buttery panko topping– my husband said that made the dish.  Two Potato Scallop | Garnish & Glaze

Plus, check out the cool stripes!   Okay, I’m an awful speller so I did just google “stripes” to make sure there should be an “e” there.  Let me tell you, I’ve had way too many embarrassing spelling stories.  Like in middle school when we had to fill out a sheet about a classmate and I wrote “rape” instead of “rap” when filling in the blank “(classmate’s name) likes to _____”.  Yeah, that was a bad mistake.  Oh and then in high school my friend was doodling in class and drew a picture that was making fun of me so I took it and where she drew herself I had an arrow pointing to her from the word “looser” instead of “loser”.  Looks like I was the loser.

Well, back to these thin cut potatoes and yams.  These will definitely be gobbled up at Thanksgiving.  It’s a great alternative to the traditional yam/sweet potato casserole that’s filled and topped with loads of sugar and tastes like dessert (love that stuff).  This is filled with cream instead! ๐Ÿ™‚  haha!  Oh how I love cream and butter.  It makes the world go round.Two Potato Scallop | Garnish & Glaze

And don’t just make these for Thanksgiving!  Serve them throughout the year with ham, steak, chicken (rotisserie is awesome!), or even fish!  I have already put these on my menu for Easter.  They are going to be perfect with the ham.  Seriously guys, this is like my new favorite food.  I could did eat a whole plate of these for lunch.

    Your ingredient list is unclear. Are you supposed to use 1 lb, or three large potatits/sweet potatos or 3 large, 1 lb potatos? As in 6 lbs total.

      Sorry about that. 1 pound is about 3 potatoes. I fixed it so it should be clear now.

    Can this be made the day before at all and refrigerated before baking?

      Yes! Refrigerate after assembling and then the next day just bake as directed.

    Made these for a family dinner this weekend and they were a big hit. I slightly increased the salt and used evaporated milk instead of whole.

    I was so excited to make this tonight. Unfortunately, it turned out watery and mushy. I know it can vary by ovens but the amount of cream and milk leftover was excessive.

      Hmmmm, I’ve made these multiple times with out it being watery. Did you use the correct amount of potatoes to soak up the liquid? Did you use heavy whipping cream? If you swapped it out for milk of half and half or altered the amounts then that would make it more liquidy.

    I made these today to try out as a thanksgiving side…they are delicious, but the cream was really runny and didn’t absorb into the potatoes…what went wrong? I did let them sit for awhile after removing from the oven in hopes that it would set, but it never did. Any help would be appreciated because I would love to serve these on thanksgiving! Thank you!
