Scalloped Potatoes with Mushroom Soup
Creamy scalloped potatoes made with mushroom soup, blend of cheeses and a unique pop of flavor compliments of celery seeds.
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes, medium size, gold potatoes. (Approximately 5 cups sliced)
- ⅓ cup Sweet Onions, chopped
- ⅓ cup Bacon Bits
- 3 tablespoons Butter (I used unsalted, but you can use salted)
- 3 tablespoons Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1 can (10.5 oz.) Cream of Mushroom Soup
- 1 teaspoon Celery Seeds
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ½ teaspoon Ground Pepper
- ½ cup Sour Cream
- 1 cup Shredded Colby Jack
- 1 cup Shredded Mild Cheddar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F
- Butter or use Non-Stick Cooking Spray to coat a 9 x 9 baking dish. Set aside.
- Clean the potatoes, peel, and slice them approximately ⅛ to ¼ inch thick. You can use a Mandolin or do it with a knife. I used a chef knife.
- Put the sliced potatoes in a medium-size bowl filled with cold water. Putting them in cold water when they are sliced prevents them from browning and helps get some of the starch out. Set aside.
- In a medium-size saucepan, add the bacon bits and the chopped onions.
- Add the butter and mix until the butter is melted over medium heat.
- Add the flour and whisk until all blended and you have a thick mixture.
- Add the milk and the cream of mushroom soup. Whisk, over medium heat, until all combined. You will have a thick sauce.
- Add the spices and mix until incorporated
- Take off the heat and add the sour cream. Mix until all combined. Set aside.
- Take the sliced potatoes out of the water. Pat dry, and place approximately ⅓ of the potatoes in the coated baking dish.
- Sprinkle some shredded cheese over the potatoes. About ½ cup.
- Add ½ of the milk mixture, spread evenly.
- Add ⅓ of the sliced potatoes
- Add about ½ cup shredded cheese
- Add the remaining milk mixture.
- Add the remaining of the potatoes
- Sprinkle it with the remaining cheese.
- Bake uncovered, in preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes
- Bake until it is golden, and the potatoes are nice and tender.
- Serve and enjoy
Very yummy recipe! I added diced ham to it also
Ty Dawn, Love all the flavors. My mom made cream of mushroom augrautin potatoes when we were kids. Do you think I will need to add the flour since the potatoes soak up everything? Ty for taking the time to post your recipe. Billie
Shouldn’t you cover these first with foil and then take the foil off?
@Miranda, that’s what I did and it turned out great. Took the foil off about 20 before end of cooking time to melt and lightly brown cheese. I also added 1 tin of cream of celery soup. Served it at pot luck. Everyone loved it. Yummy recipe.
add pork chops on top make it all one meal
Cooking mine in a crockpot hope it turns out good
Can you throw this recipe in a crockpot?
@Lauren,
Depends on your aim...
Descriptions says celery salt, but recipe says celery seed. Which one is the typo?
@Angi,
Hiya! Sorry about that, thanks for bringing this to my attention. The celery salt is the typo. The recipe only calls for celery seed.
@Dawn Lopez,Celery salt makes a great substitute for celery seeds because it's only made up of celery seeds and salt! If you decide to use celery salt instead of celery seeds in a recipe, you'll want to reduce the amount of salt used elsewhere in the recipe.
Says to preheat oven to 350, but does not give baking time-just jumps to how to reheat if made earlier. Very confusing.
@Arlene Mitchell, says in recipe 50 - 60 minutes!!
