Papas en Salsa Blanca Scalloped Potatoes

Papas en Salsa Blanca Scalloped PotatoesAs you know, I love potatoes, and scalloped potatoes in white sauce are Heaven to me. I grew up eating this dish, and I truly love it: such humble ingredients and such a rich result.

While cooking these potatoes, I reflected on the different practices and confidence in the kitchen makes, and if you think about it, in all areas of life. I remember doing this same recipe ten years ago when I was learning to cook after having come to live in the US, and I was stressed out and felt it was too much work. They were delicious but too fussy, so they were relegated to special dishes that I do only if I have guests.

Now I cook them without sweating, and my kids, who are also potato lovers, love the dish too, so I’ve been doing it at least once a month … My mood has been reflective lately because, in a week, I will be in Los Angeles, California, at a Blogger’s conference. I’ll be on a panel called “An Inside Look into the World of Food Content Creators” where we will share the secret of our success, so I’ve been thinking about how this blog has grown and has become my work, as I have created real-world connections that have become cookbooks and have traveled through beautiful places in the US and the Caribbean. And what excites me the most is I have achieved this without losing my Chilean roots.
