Add some seasonal flavors to your traditional scalloped potatoes. With sharp white cheddar, pumpkin purée, and crunchy pumpkin seeds, this dish will look gorgeous on any festive spread.

 Notes: If making traditional non-stacked scalloped potatoes, reduce the milk by 1/2 cup, layering half the cheese halfway through your layers.

Place your baking dish on a cookie sheet to catch any spills and make cleaning easy.
