A Main-Dish Version of the Best Side
Nothing beats a good potato dish. Whether mashed, baked, roasted, or fried, spuds are the essential side. But scalloped potatoes, one of the most decadent ways to serve them, are on a whole other level. For this week’s recipe, Emmanuel Joinville, chef and owner of Vancouver’s Jules Bistro, stays true to the bistro ethos, providing readers with a stunning yet simple rendition. These scalloped potatoes are so gloriously cheesy and elegant that you might make them as a main—take that, French fries.
