Creamy gluten-free scalloped potatoes make an elegant side dish that's perfect for special occasions and holiday menus. It's also an easy, layered, and hearty dish that will feed a crowd but won't break the bank.Â
Sweet rice flour has a higher starch content than regular rice flour, which makes it an excellent thickening agent. Don't let "sweet" fool you, though. This flour is not sugary sweet. Sweet rice flour works beautifully to help give this scalloped potato dish its creamy essence. It works well as a thickener for other sauces, too, such as gluten-free béchamel.Â
This dish is sure to be a crowd-pleaser at your next gathering—a side dish that everyone can enjoy—and not just for those who are following a gluten-free diet.
