Here’s a classic recipe for Scalloped Potatoes, creamy and comforting:
🥔 Scalloped Potatoes Recipe
Ingredients (serves 4–6)
- 4–5 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups milk (whole or 2%)
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional: Gruyère or Swiss)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: garlic powder, paprika, or fresh herbs
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish.
- Make the sauce:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat
- Stir in flour and cook 1–2 minutes until bubbly
- Gradually whisk in milk until smooth
- Add salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings
- Assemble:
- Layer half the potatoes in the dish, followed by half the onions
- Pour half the sauce over the layers
- Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, and sauce
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese on top (optional)
- Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake another 20–25 minutes until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown
- Serve: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving
💡 Tips
- Thin slices ensure even cooking; a mandoline slicer works great
- For a lighter version, use Greek yogurt or milk instead of cream
- Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor
