Scalloped Potatoes are a comforting side dish made by layering thinly sliced potatoes with a creamy sauce and baking until tender and golden. It’s a classic dish loved for its simplicity and rich, cheesy flavor. Let’s get to the recipe!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 dash cayenne pepper
  • 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

How to Make Creamy Scalloped Potatoes:

  1. Preparation: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the oven is at the right temperature when you’re ready to bake.
  1. Sauce Preparation: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the flour to create a smooth paste. Gradually add the milk, continuously stirring to avoid lumps. Season the mixture with salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. Continue to cook on medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a creamy sauce.
  1. Layering: In a greased baking dish, begin by layering the thinly sliced potatoes. Pour a portion of the white sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle a layer of sharp cheddar cheese over the sauce.
  1. Repeat: Continue the process of layering potatoes, sauce, and cheddar cheese until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the final layer.
  1. Baking: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour. The potatoes should be tender, the cheese bubbly, and the top golden brown.
