Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions: Creamy & Flavorful
Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions are my favs.
Caramelized Scalloped Potatoes take a little bit longer to make, but they are worth it. Who knew that adding caramelized onions to scalloped potatoes would be so amazing?
Because commercial milk hurts my joints, I have to be careful to eat only A2 milk (and A2 cheese), which either comes from goats or from cows that have been tested to be A2. I have invested in a local family farm (Misty Morning Farm) so I am able to get delicious A2 milk, straight from the cow. That way, I get A2 milk that doesn’t cause my body’s inflammation and an allergic response.
Recipe Development
So, when I found a recipe for Scalloped Potatoes with Caramelized Onions on Food52 that came from Katheryn’s Kitchen, I adapted it to fit my particular needs. The recipe called for Gruyere cheese, but I didn’t have any made from A2 milk. I substituted Pecorino Romano. Since Pecorino Romano is a tasty goat cheese substitute for Parmesan cheese (a hard cheese), and Parmesan goes with just about anything, I thought that would work, and it did. What wonderful Scalloped Potatoes! So far, this is my favorite recipe for Scalloped Potatoes and it’s one of our Top Recipes.
