Cheesy, bubbling classic comfort – Scalloped Potatoes.
Yes, this is my famous recipe that I always get requests for!
Perfect special side for Thanksgiving, or as a great side to a vegetarian meal if you sub out the chicken stock for vegetable stock and serve along side a nice mountain of roasted root vegetables.
