Look at that cheesy crust!
I’ve never made scalloped potatoes before. In fact, if I’ve ever wanted them, I have just gone for the “out of the box” version- which I am not ashamed to say that I love. Its kind of like Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, or those Cheese Balls- sometimes you just want the orange stuff.
I love goat cheese and accidentally bought an extra 16 oz log of it, not knowing there was already one at home. I didn’t want it to go to waste, so I came up with these creamy scalloped potatoes. They are quick to prepare, much more than I would have expected, but it is definitely important not to overbake them- they will get dry. These are easy enough for weeknights, but taste special enough for any holiday or special occasion meals.
