This scalloped potato recipe is courtesy of The Kosher Palette” cookbook, always a favorite “go to” recipe book of mine.
The potatoes are sliced paper thin and layered with a yummy red onion mixture. Slicing the potatoes very thinly may seem like a lot of hard work, but it is worth it. It ensures a delicate and scrumptious dish.
I also love that this recipe does not include cheese and is a non-dairy version of most scalloped potato dishes. You can also top it with breadcrumbs. That would make it even more delightful!
I give this recipe a big thumbs up. You can make it as a side dish for a weeknight dinner, yet it is elegant enough to serve at any family or holiday celebration.
Go ahead and make this one! It’s another “keeper’ in my recipe archives!
