I recently discovered the Heavenly Homemakers blog. The woman who runs it, Laura, seems to do it all. She home-schools all four of her children, grows and cans her own food, cooks and cleans for her family, and still has time to maintain a very popular blog.
One of my favorite recipes on her site is the High Five Recipes: Cream Scalloped Potatoes. It’s a part of her High 5 Recipe Series with 5 ingredients or less. As you all know, I am a fan of recipes with five ingredients or less. I have already posted the following recipes with 3-5 ingredients on MarloElaine.com:
* Decadent Oreo Truffles Recipe
* Delightful Cucumber Sandwiches Recipe
* Hearty Chili Cheese Dip Recipe
* Perfect Prosciutto Pasta Recipe
* Super Easy Costco Salmon Recipe
For dinner last week, I was able to make 2 different dishes with a total of only 5 ingredients. I made a variation of my Super Easy Costco Salmon Recipe, so I modified the Heavenly Homemakers recipe a bit to accommodate what I had on hand. The results were delicious!

3 Ingredient Baked Costco Salmon
Ingredients:
2 pounds of boneless salmon fillet
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 envelope of onion soup mix
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Place the salmon in a Pyrex baking pan or foil covered baking sheet.
3. Pour the olive oil and sprinkle the onion soup mix over the salmon.
4. Massage the oil and seasonings into the fish to coat all surfaces of the salmon evenly.
5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature of the thickest part is 145 degrees.
6. Serve with 3 Ingredient Cream Scalloped Potatoes and vegetables.
3 Ingredient Cream Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients:
6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1 1/2 cups cream
1/2 envelope of onion soup mix
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Layer the potato slices in a Pyrex baking pan or foil covered baking sheet.
3. Mix the cream and the onion soup mix together, breaking up any lumps.
4. Pour the cream mixture over the potatoes, stirring to coat.
5. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 40-60 minutes, stirring every 15-20 minutes.
6. When the potatoes are fork tender, remove from the oven. The starch from the potatoes should have thickened the cream mixture into a lovely gravy.
7. Serve with 3 Ingredient Baked Salmon and vegetables.

hi im just wondering about in3 Ingredient Cream Scalloped Potatoes
its says 1 1/2 cups cream? what cream is it please? thank you and I love your recipes……
Thanks, Luz! I just use liquid cream from the refrigerated dairy section at the grocery store. You could substitute half and half if you like. Canned table cream or evaporated milk might be good alternatives as well, but I haven’t cooked with them myself. Let us know how it turns out for you!
