Since my oven is broken at the moment, I decided to give this dish a try. I wouldn't say I ended up with "scalloped" potatoes, but rather cooked potatoes, carrots, and onions with melted cheese on top and not really a "sauce". I think I would have gotten better results with the same ingredients if I used a skillet. Oh and you definitely have to put this dish in the broiler to melt the cheese.

These were really nice. I love using my microwave and now I found a great way to make my DH happy; he loved scalloped potatoes; adding carrots just enhances the taste; the first pic is kind of...I wanted to show how great they turn out when you finish them out in the toaster oven and they taste terrific. Thank you for sharing. I made these for Autralian/New Zealand Recipe Swap. Rita/Sage

Jen, we really *loved* this. It's so simple to make and a fabulous kid pleaser. I don't like carrots so instead used two smallish sweet potatoes. The flour really does blend in well with the milk and it surprised me that there were no lumps! Thanks for a keeper!

I made this to go with my recipe #219070 last night. I added some sweet potatoes as well simply to use them up and it was a great, a fast alternative to oven scalloped potatoes & very tasty! Will most definitely be making this again.
