Scallop Potatoes

I like to use a large pie plate to bake and serve the scallop potatoes. It is very pleasing to the eye. Most people eat with their eyes before their mouths. This is easy to prepare with most ingredients that cooks have in their pantry. Enjoy the crunch on top and indulge with the creamy filling inside.

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  4. Cut butter into small pieces. Dot on potatoes.

  7. Pour milk into a cup with a spout. Pour around the sides of the dish until it reaches about 1/3 up the sides.
