Looking for recipes for scalloped potatoes. Really want to cook the dish out doors in a Dutch Oven or using one of the girl scout foil pouch techniques..... okay Boy Scout Hobo Ovens....

Anyway please send me suggestions.

I’ve always made them the simple way, with flour, dots of butter, salt and pepper, between the slices of potato; milk or milk and cream poured in; and baked in the oven. (It’s one of the first things I cooked for my husband when we met - meat loaf and scalloped potatoes. Later I learned that he hates scalloped potatoes ;-)
