Mushroom Gravy Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

First of all, it’s easy to say why we’re so obsessed with scalloped potatoes. Second of all, when we combine it with our love of mushroom gravy, we’re hooked for life! Previous our delicious mushroom gravy recipe went viral online. Everyone seems to be loving it with a passion!

So with some leftover mushroom gravy and extra potatoes, we created this magnificent mushroom gravy scalloped potatoes.

Using Different Types of Potatoes ?

Sure, there’s so many different varieties of potatoes out there. But not all lend well to making scalloped potatoes. Basically we like creamy higher starch potatoes like russets and Yukon gold potatoes. If we were to choose one it would definitely be gold potatoes for the creamy and buttery texture. Don’t use red potatoes because they’re too waxy and they just don’t break down like russets or gold potatoes do.

When you’re making this scalloped potatoes recipe, just make sure to slice the potatoes thin and  even, with consistent cuts. You don’t want to have a mix of thin and thick slices because the casserole won’t cook evenly. The thicker the potato slices, the longer it will take to cook. Be careful and try to cut them thin with a mandoline (we highly recommend using a cut-safe glove with a mandoline) or sharp knife. Yukon Gold Potatoes are our favorite because they're more creamy and tender than russets.
