Whats the difference between au gratin potatoes and scalloped potatoes?

Scalloped potatoes are much simpler. Most scalloped potato recipes call for the potatoes to be baked in a basic cream sauce, and that's it. Potatoes au gratin are a bit more decadent. They are made with lots of cheese sprinkled in between the layers of potatoes and also on top of the casserole.

Can I freeze scalloped potatoes?

You'll need to make the casserole in two smaller casseroles so that you can slip them into the large freezer bags or stasher bags. Partially bake for the first 40 minutes. Let cool, lay plastic wrap over that but tap it down so that it touches the top of the casserole, then cover with foil then slip in a freezer bag.

Instructions

Peel and slice the potatoes very thinly using a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Spray a 9x13 inch casserole dish with non-stick cooking spray and stack the potatoes vertically in the baking dish.
Now make the roux: in a medium saucepan melt the ghee over medium low heat. Add the flour and keep stirring until it;s blended well.
Slowly pour the dairy free milk and bring to a low boil stirring constantly. Cook the roux for 5-6 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Add the salt, pepper and dried thyme. Pour the sauce all over the potatoes making sure to cover them well.
Cover with foil and bake for 60 minutes at 350ºF. Uncover and bake for an additional 15 minutes to brown the top.
Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5-10 minutes. This will help the sauce to thicken. Sprinkles with fresh herbs and enjoy!

Notes

You can add finely chopped onion into the melted dairy-free butter before you add the flour for the roux.
We highly recommend using Russet potatoes. They are such a straightforward tasting potato that holds up really well with lots of sauce.
