Scalloped Potatoes

No-one can resist creamy scalloped potatoes with a crispy top! This version beats out the traditional kind, as it's 100% heart healthy with zero cholesterol and trans fat. Capers give the potatoes dimension and turn this dish into something you'll want to make over and over again. It's the best side dish to any meal, or serve it with tofu, tempeh - or simply enjoy it on its own!
