Creamy Scalloped Potatoes

Print Recipe

Creamy Scalloped Potatoes are a rich and comforting side dish made with thinly sliced potatoes layered in a luscious cream sauce and baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk and cream, cooking until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Remove from heat and add 1 cup of shredded cheese, stirring until melted.
  5. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  6. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  7. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for evenly sliced potatoes.
  • You can substitute Gruyère or mozzarella for a different flavor.
  • Make ahead and refrigerate before baking for up to 24 hours.
