Jodi Lariviere shares seasonal recipes that are as healthy as they are yummy
As I’ve grown older I’ve come to associate Easter with more than just chocolate and brightly coloured eggs. I also remember family dinners with ham and the perfect side dish, scalloped potatoes. This rich, creamy side was for special occasions only in my house. I loved them. Still do. Here is my best recipe for scalloped potatoes – one that is easy to get kids involved with.
If your kids are too young to peel or cut potatoes they can still have a great time helping you to layer them. Feel free to make a counting game out it by asking you kids to first group the potato
slices into group of 5 (or whatever number you choose). This will keep them engaged and busy while you prepare the sauce. Or take this time to talk about potatoes themselves, where they come from, how they grow and what other vegetables come from the ground. It’s never too early to start teaching kids where their food comes from.
