Whenever I want to make a sure fire side dish
that will be liked, I often will grab a package of Scalloped
potatoes!
There are quite a few manufactures of
boxed freeze dried foods and the choice of makers of Scalloped
potatoes is no different. I choose a box of Best Choice made
by Awg Brands which are distributed out of KC MO. I generally choose
what I'm going to buy based on price, and Best Choice nearly always
beats out the more name brand offerings. (I'd guess I'm losing
something in the way of quantity or quality by doing this, but when
you're poor, that's what you do).
When making a side dish like this it's
far better, in my opinion, to prepare it in the oven as opposed to the
stove top or microwave. You get much better eye appeal if you allow
the oven to brown the top of the food slightly. But, no matter how
you make them, these babies are loaded with calories! Just a 28 gram
serving (about half a cup) has 160 calories! So, watch yourself and your waistline when eating this fine comfort food!
