SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH TOMATOES AND BELL PEPPERS

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup milk in a small bowl and set aside. Combine the remaining 1 cup milk and 1 cup cream in a medium saucepan; stir in the nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the garlic and bay leaves and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to medium low; add the potatoes and simmer until halfway cooked, about 6 minutes. Remove from the heat. Gradually stir in the egg-milk mixture and 1 cup gruyere. Cover and keep warm.
• Preheat the broiler. Put the tomatoes, bell peppers and onion on a baking sheet in separate piles. Drizzle each pile with 2 teaspoons olive oil and sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence, and salt and pepper to taste. Toss each pile of vegetables to coat, then spread out the piles. Broil until tender and charred around the edges, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Brush a 1 1/2-quart baking dish with olive oil. Sprinkle half of the breadcrumbs (1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons) in the dish. Spoon out half of the potatoes and arrange evenly over the breadcrumbs; top with the broiled onions and half each of the tomatoes and bell peppers. Top with the remaining potatoes in an even layer and all of the cream mixture; discard the garlic and bay leaves. Top with the remaining tomatoes and bell peppers.
• Bake until the potatoes are tender and lightly golden, 40 to 50 minutes. Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 cup cream and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup gruyere. Continue baking until the cheese melts, about 5 more minutes. Let rest 10 minutes before serving.

SCALLOPED POTATOES WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8 x 13 inch casserole with vegetable spray. (I use the butter flavored.)
• 2. Place a layer of sliced potatoes to cover the bottom of the casserole. Then dot with about 1/2 of the smoked sausage and 1/3 of the butter.* Sprinkle lightly but generously with flour, and salt and pepper. Add another layer, just like the first, and continue until potatoes and sausage are used up (ususally 2 layers). Finish up with the sprinkling of flour and salt & pepper.*
• 3. Pour evaporated milk over to cover, moistening all of the flour on top. Add enough water or additional milk to ensure all of the potatoes are damp and most of them covered (not necessarily all, but most).
• 4. *If you don't care about too much fat, you can add dots of sour cream and sprinkle with grated cheese of your choice as well. Oooo La La!
• 5. Bake uncovered for at least an hour. Top should be browned and all bubbly. Test potato to see if it is tender. If it is too hard or stiff still, bake a little longer until potato tests done. Try one especially underneath in the milk. Especially good with steamed brocolli florets. I steam them, stir in a tiny bit of butter, and lemon juice.

SAUSAGE, PEPPERS, ONIONS, AND POTATO BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the sausage until browned. Transfer the cooked sausage to a large baking dish.
• Pour 1/4 cup of olive oil into the skillet, and cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 10 minutes. Place the potatoes into the baking dish, leaving some oil in the skillet.
• Cook and stir the green and red peppers and onions in the hot skillet until they are beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the vegetables to the baking dish.
• Pour wine and chicken stock over the vegetables and sausage, and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Gently stir the sausage, potatoes, and vegetables together.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot and bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve hot.

SCALLOPED POTATOES, CABBAGE, AND SMOKED SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a saucepan or in the microwave, melt the margarine. Add the salt, pepper, and flour. Stir until smooth, then gradually add the milk with a wire whisk. The mixture doesn't have to get thick, it does that as it cooks in the oven, you're just mixing it all together uniformly at this point.
• Add a layer of sliced potatoes to a thinly greased 13X9 pan. You can use the wrapper on the margarine or butter to lightly grease the pan if you like. It doesn't need much.
• Then add 1/2 of the cabbage as the next layer, sprinkle with 1/2 of the onions, and then add 1/2 of the smoked sausage or kielbasa.
• Then layer it all again, starting with potatoes, then cabbage, then onions, then smoked sausage, and top it all off with the remaining potatoes.
• Sprinkle the cheese on top. Stir up the sauce and pour it over the top of all uniformly.
• Cover your pan with aluminum foil tightly and bake in a 350 degree oven for about 1 hour, until potatoes are tender. Then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes at 400 to brown the top slightly or place under the broiler until lightly browned.
