Divided the recipe in half and used "extra strength powdered milk" with a tablespoon of creme fraiche. I used the amount of shallots called for in the full recipe as well as adding some thinly sliced onions seperated into rings. Added some black pepper and probably will add a touch of cayenne next time around. I was a little concerned about the thickness when putting in the oven but after they cooked the 20 minutes or so, the sauce was perfect. I topped these off with some paprika before baking and they had a nice appearance. I really liked the cooking method as it takes less time than traditional scalloped potatoes and as the title implies they don't mess up you oven. :)

Yes this is simple to prepare and simple in taste(not a bad thing).This is good for those picky eaters that doesn`t like a lot of flavor. I did up the shallots and used a small onion and 1 tablespoon minced garlic. Used red potatoes. The milk could be cut down to 3 cups. It did simmer a good 30 minutes. This could use a bit of thickener like flour. I was able to make it in one pot so no need to transfer. Don`t forget to salt and pepper it.Garnished with scallions.
