  • Yields 4 to 6 servings

3/4 milk product serving(s) per person

Preparation

What You Need

2 tbsp (30 ml) butter
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 tbsp (30 ml) cider vinegar
3 tbsp (45 ml) all-purpose flour
2 cups (500 ml) milk
1/4 cup (50 ml) chopped fresh parsley
1 tsp (5 ml) chopped fresh rosemary or
1/4 tsp (1 ml) dried
1/2 tsp (2 ml) salt
1/4 tsp (1 ml) pepper
4 yellow-flesh potatoes or
4 baking potatoes , peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup (125 ml) shredded Canadian Colby or
1/2 cup (125 ml) Cheddar cheese

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter a 13 x 9-inch (3 L) glass baking dish.

In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat; add onion and sauté for 8 min or until starting to brown. Add vinegar; boil, stirring and scraping up brown bits, until evaporated. Whisk flour into milk; gradually pour into pot, whisking constantly. Cook, stirring, for about 5 min or until bubbling and thickened. Remove from heat; stir in parsley, rosemary, salt and pepper. Add potatoes; toss gently to coat in sauce.

Spread evenly into prepared dish. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, for about 45 min or until golden and bubbling and potatoes are tender. Let stand for 10 min before serving.


Tips

Use yellow-fleshed potatoes for a pretty colour – the most familiar variety is Yukon Gold, but any will do. For white potatoes, use an oblong, baking-style potato such as a Russet. Round, waxy or new potatoes don’t absorb the sauce properly in scalloped potatoes.

Use white balsamic vinegar in place of the cider vinegar. Use 2 oz (60 g) Canadian Brie cheese, cut into small cubes, in place of the Colby.

    Excellent recipe!! Easy to make although agree with others, prep time a liitle longer than stated. Used some "old gouda" cheese as well that I had on hand. A crowd pleaser. Recommended to my daughters.

    enjoyed this dish!! and plan to add this to my "bring dish" inventory for my next potluck

    Takes way more than 15 min of prep time
    Definitely needs to be cooked for more than 45 minutes
    One (1) sweet onion is the correct amount as it shrinks once the vinegar is added

    have been enjoying milk calendar recipes since 1974!!

    I'd like to cut the salt amount into half, because other dishes on the table are salty enough.

    using white potatoes takes much longer than an hour to be done.

    have tried to cook at 350F for an hour and a half, and the dish is still raw.
