Healthy Scalloped Potatoes Recipe with Real Scallops - Bob Loescher © 2016
Ingredients
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1 lbs Bay Scallops (Thawed)
- 1 bottle of Italian Dressing
- 2 tbsp of cooking oil
- 1 tbsp of white wine vinegar
- Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Wash the potatoes.
- Cut the potatoes into chunks. Cut out any dark spots.
- Place potato chunks in a large plastic container. Coat with Italian dressing. Top with black pepper. Cover the plastic container and shake it.
- Place potatoes in a baking dish. Add water until potatoes are 3/4 covered. Add 1 or 2 capfuls of lemon juice. (optional)
- Put baking dish in the oven at 375 degrees for 30 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes. Gently stir the potatoes to make sure none of them are sticking together.
- Drain the potatoes in a large collander. Do not wash them. Put 1/2 cup of Italian dressing and 1 cup of water in the baking dish. Return the potatoes to the baking dish.
- Cook in oven for another 30 minutes. Monitor the cooking process closely during this period. You may need to add more water. The goal is get the beautiful roasted look and texture without burning the potatoes.
- Remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.
- Put thawed bay scallops in a large plastic container. Coat with Italian dressing. Top with black pepper. Cover the container and shake it. Place container in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- In a large skillet, heat cooking oil and vinegar. Medium heat, NOT high.
- Carefully put the scallops in the skillet. The scallops will sizzle when they hit the heated oil. Resist the temptation to immediately stir the scallops. In this case, we want to burn the scallops. This is called pan searing.
- After 4 to 6 minutes, remove the skillet from heat. Carefully turn the scallops with a metal spatula. Return the skillet to the heat and cook for another 4 to 6 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute.
