Homemade scalloped potatoes are so much better than the boxed kind. In a pinch, the boxed kind works. It even works in this Crock Pot Beefy Ranch Potato Casserole , but we all know homemade is always better.
To slice the potatoes as thin as they will need to be you are going to need a mandolin. A mandolin (affiliate link) is one of those handy dandy kitchen gadgets that you will think that you will never use it again.
