I used to think that I hated scalloped potatoes. Growing up, my mom always made the boxed kind, and I always thought they were super gross. But then a few years ago, one of my aunts made scalloped potatoes from scratch and they were delicious. I realized it wasn’t the dish, it was just those odd boxes of instant potatoes that my mom would buy because she got a good deal on them with coupons – which I completely respect, because as an adult I would do the same thing myself. 😉 Also, as you grow up, you realize that those easy meals may be more bland, but they are so much easier to deal with than cooking every single thing from scratch. I find as I get older I make a lot of the same food I used to think was kind of dull as a kid because I don’t want to deal with cooking!!
So while I may not be motivated enough to make a full dish of homemade scalloped potatoes myself, I can certainly appreciate the work that went into this delicious recipe inspired by The Hundred Foot Journey. This is definitely the “Foodie” version that puts those boxed 1990s dinners to shame with its fancy cheese and dash of nutmeg. Yum! Hey…maybe I should give this to my aunt and see if she’ll make it for us again! 😉
