Best Potato Dish at the Table.

Few things in life go together as well as cheese and potatoes. Other than cheese and “potatoes”. Especially when that cheese bakes into a melty golden crust and those potatoes are doused in silky cream. It’s heaven in a scoop. And it deserves — wait, let me try that again — you deserve to add this to the Thanksgiving menu.

Growing up, my Mom’s scalloped potatoes were a holiday must. Now, we make these low carb scalloped potatoes instead. The only difference? We use turnips instead of potatoes. And with that simple swap, we wash our hands clean of countless carbs. Same flavor. Same texture. So what’s stopping you?!

If your fear of the mandoline is holding you back, I HEAR YOU. A sharp knife and some careful cutting will do. Like I said, you deserve this casserole. Let’s review: Melty cheese. Silky cream. Warm. Comforting. Low carb. (Also, can someone please invent a mandoline that doesn’t make me fear for my life?!) Enjoy! 😂❤️ – Linds x

Ingredient Notes

This ingredient list may look simple, but it’s all you need for the best scalloped potatoes:

• Turnips – peeled + sliced 1/8″ thick. To peel, cut off the top and bottom with a sharp knife, then use a veggie peeler to remove the skin. To slice, use a mandoline, or a sharp knife and careful cut. The key is to get the slices the same thickness is important.
• Garlic – We “paint” the casserole dish with sliced garlic to infuse flavor throughout.
• Heavy cream
• Spices: Nutmeg, salt + pepper
• Gruyere – this Swiss cheese is crazy meltable, making our low carb scalloped potatoes extra gooey.

Storing + Reheating Tips

Store any leftovers you have in an airtight container in the fridge. This quick and easy scalloped potatoes recipe reheats well in the microwave or toaster oven.

Recipe Variations

1. Add bacon, because it’s never a bad idea. If making scalloped potatoes with bacon, cook, crispy and crumble before adding it in.
2. Or make low carb scalloped potatoes with ham, but using cooked and diced ham.
3. Add more/different keto cheese – such as parmesan on top for a crunchy layer.
4. Add other keto vegetables. Maybe some kale? Mushrooms? Onions?
