Scalloped Potato Casserole With Root Vegetables

The fabulous folks at Idaho Potato asked me to make a beautiful side dish that included a variety of root vegetables, and I created this Scalloped Potato Casserole. The sweet potato slices add a rich color and the mixture of potatoes and the turnip make this dish a perfect addition to your next gathering, holiday or family meal.

Now, I will openly admit that this recipe does take a few to prep, as you have to slice all those potatoes and root vegetables, but trust me, it’s totally worth it.

Once your potatoes and vegetables are sliced, you will make the sauce. With only a few ingredients, this garlic-y, creamy deliciousness will be ready in just a few moments.

Now that your potatoes and root vegetables are sliced (cut them nice and thin or use a mandolin if you have one) and your sauce is prepped, it’s time to get messy.

Since you want each slice of potato and root vegetable to be covered in that garlic-y, creamy deliciousness, I recommend adding coating each one, using your hands. I put half of the potatoes and turnips into a large bowl then slowly added about 1/3 of the cream mixture into the bowl with the potatoes and turnips until coated well.

Using your hands place the coated potato and turnip slices into the baking pan, vertically. Make sure the slices are close together. Add another ⅓ of the cream mixture to the remaining potatoes and turnips, coat well. Layer them into the baking dish.

I like placing the slices up right, commonly known as “hasselback”, I just think it looks prettier. You can, of course, layer yours anyway you like 🙂

Once all your slices are in your prepped 9×13 baking dish, you pour on the remainder of the cream mixture and toss them into the oven at 400 degrees. The total baking time is about 1.5 hours.
