Mushroom Scalloped Potatoes |
The rich full-bodied flavour and texture of sautéed mushrooms and green onions add pizzazz to this “never fail” version of the classic. Pre-cooked potatoes shorten the cooking time.

Cooking time: 30-35 mins.
- 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter

- 1 ¼ cups (300 mL) fresh breadcrumbs
- 1 ¼ cups (300 mL) grated cheddar or Swiss cheese
Directions
1. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in mushrooms and onions; cook, covered until tender, about 5 minutes.
2. Stir in flour. And then gradually stir in milk, cream cheese, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Bring to boil, stirring constantly; cook until smooth and thickened.

Tips:
- For convenience cook potatoes a few days before. Cook potatoes until tender but firm; cover and cool or chill before slicing.
- If potatoes have thin skins do not peel -you'll save time and add nutrition.
