A while back, a contributor wrote into “Recipe Swap”
requesting a good recipe for scalloped potatoes and for
hints on how to keep the sauce from curdling. We received
lots of replies and have those answers for you this week.
Mrs. Ethel A. Schaeffer from Bemville wrote to us
saying, “In reference to the woman who wanted to make
potatoes without curdling: put the mixture on top of the
stove first and start it to boil, then make a mixture of one
tablespoon or more, if desired, of flour in water and stir it
in. Then put in the oven and bake. You can also take one
can of mushroom soud and add a can of milk and use this
instead of plain milk ”
Another suggestion from Harriet Greenawalt, Lan
caster, is to parboil the potatoes, drain off the starchy
water, place the potatoes in a casserole, and then pour the
white sauce over the contents. Bake at 325 degrees F. for
one hour.
Two recipes for scalloped potatoes follow.
SCALLOPED POTATOES
6 medium sized potatoes
4 tablespoons butter or margarine
4 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons salt
2Vz cups milk

Peel potatoes and slice thin. Make a white sauce of
butter, flour, salt, and milk. When thickened, remove
from heat and add cheese. Place potatoes in greased
casserole and cover with sauce. Bake uncovered one to
one and a half hours at 375 degrees F. Serves four to six.
