Ever think a recipe was one way and then you find out it's another?

Yep... I've found all kinds of people make food in all kinds of different ways. I never use cheese in scalloped potatoes. I use milk, butter and salt because Mom made them that way. Sometimes people will even put mushrooms in them.

We don't add meat or cheese to scalloped potatoes, because we usually serve it as a side dish with a meat dish and a veggies dish. I don't usually think about what's in food dishes - I don't cook so I eat what is put on my plate. Sometimes baking instructions surprise me though.

This was one thing that I have known for a while since I have made this in the past. Usually I have it just by itself with nothing else added, but have had some that others have added ham too. As for recipes that I have found to be quite different depending where you look is potato salad, and personally this is one thing that I have never made the same way twice. I add a lot of things though in mine I think a lot of other people don't but most times mine is never made the same way each time for sure.

Merry Christmas, writers~ Scalloped potatoes, we will be having on Dec. 29th...my son's birthday (and request)! He loves my scallops, and I DO NOT put meat in them, as in a cassarole! Just layers of potatoes, onions, cheese and S&P, sprinkle of flour and then cream. Keep layering! We also will be having Ham en croute, Brussels, Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, Cauli, Garlic Mashed, Baked Turkey...in a nutshell, Christmas Dinner that day! I am off to work today and tomorrow...DAng, and lonely! Big Hugz..and Merry Christmas!
