Have you ever made scalloped potatoes in the oven and baked the dish for hours, only to discover they are totally undercooked in the middle? And, of course, it happens right when it’s time to sit down for dinner. Skip the stress — the microwave works a holiday miracle with this foolproof dish! Layer thinly sliced potatoes with heavy cream and cornstarch for a quick, impressive side dish that cooks quickly and evenly every time.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
