Have had a fail with a scalloped potatoes type dish,with the milk not making a creamy sauce,and staying very liquid when the potatoes are lifted out-looked okay till then, and am wondering if it because I use a low-fat milk!.Have never had any joy, and it just occured to me that that might be the reason. What do you think fellow cooks.!.or is there a secret I havent discovered yet!

Pam's Creamy Potatoes
25g butter, melted;1 clove garlic,crushed;1/4 tsp nutmeg;2 cups grated tasty cheese; 1 kg potatoes,peeled and sliced thinly;2 eggs,lightly beaten;1x 300ml carton cream;1 cup milk;1/2 cup stale breadcrumbs;fresh herbs to garnish. combine melted butter,garlic and nutmeg in a bowl. Brush a shallow oven proof dish with half the butter mixture. Sprinkle half the cheese over the base and layer the potato slices. Combine remaining butter mix, eggs, cream and milk in a jug and pour gently over potato slices. Sprinkle top with remaining cheese and breadcrumbs ( I dont usually bother with the breadcrumbs) Bake in hot oven - 200C for about 1 hour or until potatoes are tender. (Cover with foil if top becomes too brown.

Leave out the milk and broccoli.Roast or fry the pumpkin first to remove the excess moisture.

I use cream too but have had success with milk with an egg beaten into it, though it does go watery if reheated in the microwave.

Potatoes sliced and arranged - 150ml milk mixed with 150ml cream and one packet of onion soup mix, pour this over the potatoes.Sprinkle a little cheese on top if you like.Cook 50 mins at 170.

So, if you don't want to use cream.my son came up with this idea.he made a not too thick, not too cheesy, cheese sauce and poured that over. Worked brilliantly, could just use white sauce if you don't want the cheese part.

When we are feeling we need to watch what we eat a bit, we use chicken stock.Can work really well.
