what is the difference between 'scalloped' and 'au gratin' potatoes!? i asked the people i work with and no one could tell me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
scalloped has no cheese just cream sauce and spices and au gratan has cheeseWww@FoodAQ@Com

Scalloped potatoes are a milk based potato dish!. The potatoes are usually sliced very thinly although what technically makes it 'scalloped' is the milk base!. A gratin on the other hand is any dish that is topped with cheese and/or bread crumbs and layered with bits of butter and is baked until brown and crispy!. People often get them confused and use the terms interchangeably!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

There are no stupid questions!. just stupid answers!.

Scalloped means the potatoes are thinly sliced in a white sauce!.

Au gratin the potatoes are still thinly sliced but topped with white sauce AND cheese!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

To me scalloped is cooked in a pot on top of the stove and Au Gratin are cooked in a caserole dish so they're brown on top!. JMOWww@FoodAQ@Com
