Comfort food is just about the only thing that keeps me warm in the fall and winter months, so I’ve been making things like Roasted Chicken Noodle Soup, Beef Stew with Red Wine, Cheesy Baked Ravioli and these pumpkin scalloped potatoes.

What are Pumpkin Scalloped Potatoes?

They’re a delightful dish of yams and Yukon Gold potatoes three-stories-high, layered with pumpkin cream and cheese. Piping hot out of the oven, these are delicious served with my Cape Cod Cranberry Meatloaf.  Next day and the day-after-that leftovers are just as good.

There’s a slightly sweet flavor to the dish- cream and pumpkin puree scented with fresh thyme and garlic covering two kinds of potatoes and baked with plenty of cheese.  This is comfort food at its best.

Maybe it’s that extra “padding” I took on from chowing down on that decadent cream sauce or perhaps it’s the warmth of dish itself. But in any case, eating these cheesy potatoes works to keep a girl warm (at least… until my husband opens those darn windows again).
