To Prepare Scalloped Potatoes Ahead of Time
To make these ahead of time (and keep them cooking quickly on the day of serving), we tried partially baked them with wonderful success.
Bake for 50-60 minutes with the dish covered.
Allow to cool entirely on the counter after removing from the oven (cover to retain steam).
Cover and refrigerate.
Remove from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before baking. Bake uncovered for approximately 35 minutes, or until thoroughly heated.
