Roundy's Scalloped Potatoes Creamy Sauce Mix
What it is
This is a dry mix designed to create a rich and creamy sauce for scalloped potatoes. It typically contains dehydrated potato flakes, seasonings, and a thickening agent. The purpose of the mix is to simplify the process of making a classic potato dish, providing a consistent flavor and texture with minimal effort. It's a convenient way to achieve a savory sauce that coats potato slices beautifully.
How people cook with it
This sauce mix is primarily used to prepare a classic side dish. It can also be adapted for other savory applications.
- Sauce for scalloped potatoes
- Thickener for casseroles
- Base for creamy soups
- Flavoring for mashed potatoes
To prepare the sauce, you typically combine the dry mix with a liquid, such as milk or water, and a fat, like butter. This mixture is then heated and stirred until it thickens into a smooth, creamy sauce. The sauce is then poured over sliced potatoes, which are usually baked until tender and bubbly. The mix ensures that the sauce has a balanced flavor profile, ready to complement the potatoes without needing additional spices.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to making a sauce from scratch using flour, butter, and milk, this mix offers convenience and speed. While homemade sauces allow for precise control over ingredients and seasoning, this mix provides a pre-portioned solution for a consistent, familiar taste that many people enjoy for its ease of preparation.

How to keep the rest
After opening, store any remaining sauce mix in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. This will help maintain its freshness and prevent clumping. Ensure the container is sealed tightly to protect it from moisture and odors, preserving the quality for future use.
