Can you eat scalloped potatoes with curdled cream?

It is generally recommended not to eat scalloped potatoes with curdled cream. Curdled cream refers to cream that has gone sour and separated into its constituent liquids due to the action of bacteria or the addition of acid.

Consuming curdled cream may pose a risk for foodborne illnesses caused by bacterial growth. Scalloped potatoes made with curdled cream can provide an environment for bacteria to grow and multiply.

To ensure food safety, it is advisable to use fresh and unspoiled cream when making scalloped potatoes. If you notice that the cream is curdled, it is best to discard it and use fresh cream.
