I always make a double batch of these! So delicious!
Grandma Kitty’s scalloped potatoes recipe tastes so good my husband wants to be adopted by her. Let me tell you all about Grandma Kitty. Grandma Kitty is that sweet grandmother who lives next door to us. She is the epitome of a homey, very kind grandmother portrayed in movies. She lives with her husband next door, with two of their grandchildren who are studying in college. One of her grandchildren babysits for us during vacations, which is why she treats us as family too. Sometimes, she even sends us pies and cakes just because she wants to feed the “bony kids”. Believe me, Chiyo and Calvin are not bony. Those two are squishy! But yes, we can never say no to Grandma Kitty’s creations. She is the Queen of the Kitchen.
Last time though, it wasn’t any cake or dessert. Grandma Kitty sent us a casserole. She brought it herself. I offered her tea while we caught up with each other’s lives for a few minutes. It was scalloped potatoes. And my husband ate about half of the casserole dish. Again, there goes the question about his metabolism. I wish I had his metabolism. My sons loves the potatoes too! They would love anything that Grandma Kitty would bring. Those two treat her like their real grandmother. They call her “Gramma Kitty”, which makes Grandma Kitty just gush over them more. Anyway, a copy of this scalloped potatoes recipe can be found on the next page. Enjoy!

Quick Tip: Serve with a fresh salad and homemade bread.
When people read “Eagle Brand”, they usually think of Sweetened Condensed Milk. Be careful, folks. This is regular evaporated milk (like Carnation). I didn’t know there was an Eagle Brand evaporated milk.
Thank you for noting that, I didn`t know that either!
Good old fashioned scalloped potatoes …..and no cheese!!! These are just like my mom used to make and i love the fact they are not full of cheese. Just a very basic very good recipe with the true potato taste coming through. Thank you to Grandma Kitty!
I also add thinly sliced onions
NO ONIONS!!! ye gods cannot have scaalloped potatoes with out onions or it is nothing!!!
I totally agree! I am anxious to try this very soon!
I like some chopped onion and cheese in it also. You don’t need to make the white sauce either. Just layer everything and it will cook together in the oven. I’ve made it this way for years and know that it works just fine. I’m 89 and a great Grandma….soon to be a great-great Grandma! Put some shredded cheese on top too.
You mean do not even mix the flour into the milk at least? I am concerned about that. I would not want the flour just to lie on top in clumps! Congrats on that great-great-grandbaby! 🙂
I make it without mixing, as my mom did, and turns out amazing. The trick is not to concentrate flour in one place. I also add onions.
When adding flour toss potatoes well dot with butter. this is the way I learned to make scalloped potatoes
i use cream of mushroom soup and cream cheese in my scalloped potatoes, taste better than anything ive ever had. got the recipe at allrecipes.com.
PS, my mom never mixed her ingredients either. what you can do in a bowl, is mix the potatoes, flour and seasonings if it make you nervous.
I was making this basic recipe for many years by just layering the ingredients. I was never happy with the way they turned out. Several years ago i started making them with a recipe I found. I simmer the potatoes a little in the milk and water, take the potatoes out, layer them in a dish with pepper and salt. I then make a sauce in the pot of milk. They bake a lot quicker too. My husband noticed the difference right away. His response was,” what happened, why are the scalloped potatoes so good?”
Potatoes, milk, butter, salt, and pepper. That’s the way my mom makes them and so do I. Nothing else needed and their so good!
I commented a minute ago and forgot to say that I boil 2 or 3 onions with the milk as well. You can’t leave out the onions but I never use cheese.
we like them with or without cheese in our house, since we seem to have been mice in our prior lives. LOL!!
I whisk the milk and flour together and put it raw into casserole dot with butter partway through and on top and layer in onion, never used condensed milk but it would be yum factor
