Name: Spiralized Scalloped Skillet Potatoes with Mushrooms and Onions
Ingredients: 4 tbs butter; 1 cup white onion, chopped thin; 1 cup baby bella mushrooms, sliced; 3 tbs flour; 2 cups whole milk; 6 red potatoes, spiralized; 2 cups Gruyère cheese; 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese; sea salt and pepper

After receiving so many gifts over the past year and a half, housewarming gifts, engagement gifts, shower gifts, wedding gifts… I have been trying to get my kitchen organized. When organizing one of my cabinets the other day I found my long lost friend – my Spiralizer! I got this GEFU Spiralfix Spiral Cutter from a good friend as a housewarming gift when Walter and I first moved to our townhouse last summer. I used it for a while, but it got buried below so many other new toys, it was a very happy reunion when I found it!

Walter had been asking for scalloped potatoes for a while now. I kept saying “yeah, yeah I’ll make them”, but hadn’t gotten around to it due to utter laziness. Cutting potatoes thin enough to make good scalloped potatoes is hard work. You really need a mandoline cutter or a SPIRALIZER! When I found my spiralizer I knew it was scalloped potato time 🙂

The spiralizer worked amazingly as I knew it would. The potatoes come out looking like an accordion which is fun and they are so thin you don’t even have to peal them!

Aside from thin potatoes the other key good scalloped potatoes is getting the maximum crunch without losing the ooey-gooey cheesiness 🙂 Using a cast iron skillet helps to maximize the crunch because the bottom and the sides crisp up as well as the top while leaving a creamy interior.
