Our mom's old fashioned scalloped potatoes are easy to make and super cheesy and creamy!
Ingredients
Units
- Russet Potatoes: Approx. 2 lbs (5 medium potatoes)
- Onion: 1 small onion
- Butter: 1/4 cup
- Salt: 3/4 teaspoon
- Pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Flour: 3 tablespoons
- Milk: 2.5 cups
- Cheddar Cheese, shredded: 1.5 cups
- Parmesan Cheese: optional for serving
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x8 baking dish with cooking spray.
- Chop: Peel and thinly slice the potatoes and onions and set them aside.
- Make the Cream Sauce: Add the butter to a small pot on low heat. Once the butter melts, add the salt, pepper, and flour and stir until smooth. Increase the heat to high and add the milk, a 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Once it reaches a boil, boil for 1-2 minutes and continue to stir. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the onions.
- Start Layering: Add a layer of the potatoes to the baking dish, slightly overlapping, then add 1/3 of the cream sauce. Repeat this step two more times.
- Bake: Evenly distribute the shredded cheese over the top and bake for 45 minutes covered and 15 minutes uncovered until the cheese starts to look golden.
