Low FODMAP scalloped potatoes

Scalloped potatoes are a classic side dish. Potatoes with cream from the oven and a nice layer of cheese on top. Doesn’t that make everyone happy? I made a low FODMAP scalloped potatoes with some simple adjustments.

Delicious to serve at Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas dinner or at any other dinner party!

The ingredients of the low FODMAP scalloped potatoes

The ingredients of these scalloped potatoes are super simple. With only a handful of ingredients you can put a super tasty side dish on the table:

  • Potatoes: I was lazy and used a bag of pre-boiled, peeled and sliced potatoes. You can also peel and slice them yourself of course. I would pick a potato like Yukon Gold potatoes.
  • Lactose-free cream and milk: lactose-free cream and lactose-free milk together form the basis for the cream sauce.
  • Seasonings: I season the cream with nutmeg, pepper, salt and a little mustard. And some fresh parsley and the green part of spring onion for garnish.
  • Grated cheese: before the scalloped potatoes go into the oven, sprinkle the potatoes with some grated cheese. I use a slightly older Dutch Gouda cheese because that’s what I really like and because I am in the Netherlands 😉

    But you can pick any kind of cheese you like. Gruyere cheese, a sharp cheddar cheese or parmesan cheese is also very nice with scalloped potatoes.

Are these scalloped potatoes lactose-free?

These scalloped potatoes are not completely lactose-free, but the dish is low in lactose. I use lactose-free milk and lactose-free whipped cream.

Dutch yellow cheese contains very little lactose due to the processing process. This allows many people with lactose intolerance to tolerate it. You can read more about it in this blog about cheese and the low FODMAP diet.

Also other cheeses like gruyere, cheddar and parmesan also hardly contain any lactose.

If you are very sensitive to lactose and you want to make the recipe completely lactose-free, you can omit the grated cheese, replace it with a vegan cheese variant or you can use nutritional yeast flakes instead of cheese.

Can I prepare the scalloped potatoes beforehand?

You can prepare the scalloped potatoes a day in advance. Bake the potatoes in the oven for half an hour. Then let the dish cool down and put it in the fridge covered.

The next day, take the dish out of the fridge an hour before you want to start baking it. Then bake it in the oven for another 30-40 minutes. After half an hour you can check whether the potatoes are cooked or need a little longer.

How to store the scalloped potatoes?

The scalloped potatoes keep well in the fridge for about 2 days. Keep the dish in a sealed container. You can also freeze it in a sealed container, it will keep for about 3 months.

When you are going to eat it again, let the scalloped potatoes defrost in the fridge and then heat them up in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (350 F).
