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

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  3. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
  4. Gradually add milk and cream, whisking constantly until thickened, about 3–5 minutes.
  5. Stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth.
  6. Layer half the sliced potatoes in the prepared dish, pour half the sauce over them. Repeat with remaining potatoes and sauce.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 20–25 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is golden.
  8. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline for evenly sliced potatoes.
  • Substitute Gruyère or Swiss cheese for a flavor variation.
  • Can be assembled ahead and baked later.
