We spent Labor Day at my parent’s house. Dad grilled dove (not something I will eat) and chicken fajitas. Mom & the kids made scalloped potatoes.
Colin helped by washing the potatoes. James learned to peel them. Mom sliced the peeled potatoes and cheese. James and Colin took turns layering the cheese, butter, salt, pepper and potatoes in the baking dish.
Sorry, I don’t have photos! It was a lazy relaxed day!

Homemade scalloped potatoes…YUM!
Lisa @ Oh Boy Oh Boy Oh Boy says
dove? that’s a new one. have you ever tried it?
Sara Phillips says
I have – my dad has been a hunter since LONG before I was born, so I grew up on weird stuff. It’s too … greasy? for me. I’ve never had duck, but I’ve heard it’s a lot like that.
Carole says
These scalloped potatoes are super.
Kelly @ A Girl Worth Saving says
Scalloped potatoes are my favorite part of fall. That’s cool that you were exposed to so many different varieties of meat growing up.
Kim @ What's That Smell? says
My favorite side dish is my oven roasted seasoned potatoes!
Sara Phillips says

Angela says
This is also a favorite side dish at my house!
Anne says
Sounds good, although I think I’d have gone with the chicken fajitas over dove also. We love many different kinds of potato side dishes, but mashed potatoes are my kids favorite.
HilLesha says
I love almost anything in the form of potatoes. 🙂
Kelly @ Texas Type A Mom says
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever made homemade scalloped potatoes. I bet they taste so much better than the ones I grew up with out of a box.
Sara Phillips says
They are super yummy and so easy!
Ty @ Mama of 3 Munchkins says
Sounds very tasty! We LOVE potato anything in our house!
