I made another batch of my lower starch scalloped potatoes, and subbed in purple potatoes, so good! I am thinking I am going to laying in some greens in my next batch.SCALLOPED POTATOES
This is my favorite splurge meal nowadays! To keep from gaining weight with this meal, I just have a good plate of them as the main course, without any sides. I sleep so good on the nights I have these for dinner!
I make my scalloped potatoes with half red potatoes and half white sweet potatoes. Both of these potatoes have much less starch, than the typically made scalloped potatoes, made with russets. I warm a clove, or four, of garlic, chopped, in 2 cups of cream. I butter a glass pie shaped baking dish. I peel the potatoes, and slice them thin, on the slicing side of a big box cheese grater. I put a layer of red potatoes on the bottom, salt them, and cover them with a quarter cup of cream, and then do a layer of the white sweet potatoes, adding the salt and cream again. I repeat these layers about seven or eight layers deep. I cover them with foil and bake them in a 350 degree oven for about 35 minutes, then take off the foil and bake about 30 minutes more. Sometimes I put fresh herbs between some of the laters, but tonight I picked fresh rosemary from my garden, chopped it up and sprinkled it on top. Ahhhhhh….sweet dreams to me tonight!
“…small and large red-skinned potatoes, blue, purple and fingerling potatoes. They are low in starch and high in moisture and sugar. These potatoes are usually small and round in shape, although some varieties can be bigger.”
“Both sweet potatoes and potatoes contain similar amounts of fibre (2.1g and 1.6g in 100g of sweet and regular potatoes respectively) but boiled potatoes contain almost twice the amount of starch compared to boiled sweet potatoes (15.2g compared to 8.1g per 100g).”
Sweet Potato vs. Regular Potato: How do they compare?
Over the past few years, the popularity of sweet potato has been on this rise. Whether you’re eating out in a restaurant, in the supermarket or flicking through a cookery book, there is no escaping them. Sweet potatoes are soft, starchy root vegetables.
