Scalloped Potatoes always take me on a nostalgic journey back to my grandparents' house during Sunday dinners, surrounded by warmth, laughter, and love. Their aroma alone made those dinners special, setting our taste buds into a frenzy of anticipation. The creamy layers of potatoes, blanketed with velvety cheese, evokes fond memories of those cherished times.
