- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 4 potatoes, thinly sliced
Instructions:
-
Melt Margarine: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the margarine until it’s bubbling and fragrant, creating a rich base for your dish.
-
Cook Onion and Basil: Add the finely chopped onion to the melted margarine, along with the dried basil leaves. Cook until the onion is tender and translucent, and the basil releases its aromatic fragrance, infusing the dish with its distinctive flavor.

Combine Soup, Water, and Cheese: To the skillet, add the condensed soup, water, and shredded cheddar cheese. Stir the mixture until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated, creating a creamy, savory sauce that will coat each potato slice with luscious flavor.
-
Reduce Heat: Reduce the heat to low, ensuring that the sauce maintains a gentle simmer without boiling, allowing the flavors to meld together harmoniously.
-
Add Potatoes: Carefully layer the thinly sliced potatoes into the skillet, arranging them evenly to ensure that each slice is coated with the delectable sauce.
-
Heat Through: Cover the skillet and allow the potatoes to heat through, gently simmering in the savory sauce. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking, allowing the potatoes to become tender and infused with the flavors of the sauce.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once the potatoes are tender and cooked through, remove the skillet from the heat and serve your Basil Skillet Scalloped Potatoes hot, garnished with additional basil leaves for a vibrant burst of freshness.
