Select the correct answer.

Donald wants to prepare scalloped potatoes. Up to what temperature should he preheat the oven to prepare the delicacy?

A. [tex]200^{\circ} F[/tex]
B. [tex]300^{\circ} F[/tex]
C. [tex]250^{\circ} F[/tex]
D. [tex]400^{\circ} F[/tex]
E. [tex]350^{\circ} F[/tex]

Answer :

To determine the proper preheat temperature for scalloped potatoes, we follow these steps:

1. In many culinary recipes, scalloped potatoes require an oven temperature around [tex]$350^{\circ}F$[/tex] to ensure that the potatoes are cooked evenly and the top forms a light, golden crust.

2. After comparing the given choices, which are:
[tex]$$200^{\circ}F,\quad 300^{\circ}F,\quad 250^{\circ}F,\quad 400^{\circ}F,\quad 350^{\circ}F,$$[/tex]
we see that the correct choice is [tex]$350^{\circ}F$[/tex].

Thus, Donald should preheat his oven to
[tex]$$350^{\circ}F.$$[/tex]
