What a great side dish for almost any grilled meal, though I hesitate to call this a side dish, as it is very rich and filling and could be a meal in itself. Easily baked in the Camp Chef Italia Artisan Pizza Oven accessory using Camp Chef's Cast Iron Pie Pan, perfect combinations for delicious outdoor baking.

Tried this wonderful scalloped potato recipe in cast iron skillet in our oven. Was wonderful. Will all fewer potato’s next time and more cream. Could not ask for anything better tasting. Thanks again Gary.
