Scalloped Potato Dry Sauce Mix DIY

Published: Dec 24, 2017 · Modified: Nov 19, 2019 · by Healthy Canning

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This is a DIY sauce mix for scalloped potatoes (aka Dauphinoise potatoes.)

Use it with your dehydrated potato slices.

Just add water, pour over the dried potato slices, and bake.

Delicious!

To be clear, this is NOT a canning recipe. Don’t attempt to can the scalloped potatoes, and don’t attempt to even dry-can this mix: the heat would shorten the storage life of the powdered milk in the mix.

Per 1 batch of sauce / one-ninth of mix for the whole casserole dish. (does not include potatoes or butter)

  • 161 calories, 1138 mg sodium
  • Weight Watchers PointsPlus®: 4 points+
  • Weight Watchers SmartPoints®: 6 points

To work out nutrition of the entire casserole dish, factor in 3/4 kg (1 1/2 lbs) of fresh potato as equiv for the dried, and whatever you use for butter / low-cal marg etc. (Vitamin content will of course change on fresh vs dried, but for calories and weight watcher points will be very close.)

      Make a reduced size batch and see if you like the results. If you don’t, then perhaps buy some gluten free flour?
