Can you believe that the holidays are literally days away? We are going to be joining our family out of town, so we want to make sure we make the most of our visit. It’s always a great idea to split up the cooking so that the host doesn’t have mounds of things to prepare.

Of all of the side dishes that I love making, I would say that a scalloped potato dish is always a win. I added tons of shredded Stella® Fontinella cheese and some grated Stella® Parmesan cheese to a traditional scalloped potato dish, to give it a bold and unique taste!

I love a good recipe that incorporates ingredients that are hearty, flavorful, and that allow for modifications if needed. For this scalloped potato recipe, I used Fontinella cheese because of it’s sweet and sharp flavor. Feel free to use the kind of cheese you like!

Grating your own cheese really makes for a delicious and fresh taste to your finished product! That is one of the reasons I love grating my own cheese! Plus, you can use the different grate sizes to meet your recipe and presentation needs!
