Dash™ Scalloped Potatoes

Scalloped potatoes are a classic dish made with thinly sliced potatoes layered in a creamy sauce and baked until tender and golden brown. They make an excellent side or even brunch dish! What makes this recipe different is that it uses Dash™ Seasoning to add flavor WITHOUT the salt typically found in scalloped potato dishes.  Try either Dash™ Original Seasoning or Dash™ Garlic & Herb – both add maximum flavor, no salt needed.

Scalloped Potato Success Stories

Prep Tips

• Use the right potato: Yukon Golds or Russets are best. Yukons are creamier, Russets are starchier and make a thicker sauce.

• Slice thin and even: About 1/8″ thick slices are perfect. A mandoline slicer makes this super easy and uniform.

• Soak the slices (optional): If you’re using starchy potatoes like Russets, a quick rinse or soak removes excess starch and helps prevent gumminess.

Flavor Boosters

• Infuse your cream/milk: Warm it first with garlic, onion, thyme, or bay leaf to build a flavor base before pouring it over the potatoes.

• Add cheese wisely: If you’re doing a cheesy version (technically that’s “au gratin”), layer sharp cheeses like Gruyère, cheddar, or Parmesan. Avoid pre-shredded cheese — it doesn’t melt as well.

• Sauté aromatics: Onions, leeks, or shallots cooked in butter before adding them to the layers add great depth.

Assembly & Baking

• Grease your dish: Butter or oil helps prevent sticking and adds flavor.

• Layer with seasoning: Don’t forget to salt and pepper each layer of potatoes as you go. Bland potatoes = sad potatoes.

• Cover, then uncover: Bake covered with foil for the first 45–60 minutes so the potatoes steam and cook through. Then uncover for the last 20–30 minutes to brown the top.

Finishing Touches

• Rest before serving: Let it sit for 10–15 minutes after baking. It helps everything set and makes for cleaner slices.

• Top with herbs: Chopped parsley, thyme, or even chives for a pop of color and freshness.

What Pairs Well with Scalloped Potatoes?

Planning what else to serve alongside these tasty scalloped potatoes for your Easter meal?  We’ve got some ideas for you!

Scalloped potatoes are rich, creamy, and comforting, so it’s great to pair them with dishes that balance that out — think something with a bit of texture, acidity, or protein.

Proteins

• Glazed ham – A classic combo. The salty-sweet balance works beautifully.

• Roast chicken or turkey – Especially with herbs like thyme or rosemary.

• Beef tenderloin or roast beef – Super elegant, especially for a holiday dinner.

• Pork chops – Pan-seared or grilled with a little apple or mustard sauce.

• Grilled salmon – A lighter option, but rich enough to hold its own.

Veggies & Sides

• Green beans almondine – A little crunch and freshness.

• Roasted Brussels sprouts – Especially good with balsamic or bacon.

• Sautéed spinach or kale – Adds that bitter green to balance the richness.

• Garden salad with vinaigrette – Something acidic to cut through the creaminess.

• Steamed broccoli or asparagus – Simple and classic.

Breads

• Crusty baguette or dinner rolls – For mopping up sauce.

• Garlic bread – If you’re going full comfort-food mode.

Drinks

• White wine – A Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc works great.

• Light reds – Like Pinot Noir, especially with ham or chicken.

• Sparkling water with lemon – Refreshing and cuts through the richness nicely.
