We call this ‘Amish Compliment Collector’ because it’s a hit every time I make it, which was three times last week!

Amish scalloped potato bake is a comforting dish that brings together the simplicity and heartiness of rural cooking with a touch of creamy indulgence. Originating from the Amish communities known for their rich culinary traditions, this dish is perfect for those who appreciate the warmth of home-cooked meals. The layers of tender potatoes, enveloped in a creamy sauce and baked to perfection, make it an ideal choice for family gatherings or a cozy dinner at home.
This scalloped potato bake pairs beautifully with roasted meats such as chicken or pork, making it a versatile side dish for any main course. For a complete meal, consider serving it alongside a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables to balance the richness of the potatoes. A light, crisp white wine or a refreshing iced tea would complement the flavors nicely.
