Baked Potatoes
Simple baked potatoes dressed up with all the fixings are easy and delicious. But they’re not the only way to bake a tasty tuber. Scalloped potatoes do the basic baker one better. With scalloped potatoes (a.k.a., potatoes au gratin), the shredded cheese and cream are baked together with thinly sliced potatoes in the same casserole to create a sensational, savory side dish with an amazing cheesy crust.

Make Lighter French Fries: Instead of pre-heating your peanut oil, add the potatoes to a skillet full of unheated peanut oil. Then turn the flame to medium high and cook until the fries are golden brown (about 30 minutes). Starting with cool oil keeps the potatoes from absorbing as much oil.
