Scalloped Potatoes
These easy Scalloped Potatoes are a classic dish that you cannot go wrong with. Layers of potatoes, cheese sauce on repeat! The ingredients are simple in these Scalloped Potatoes recipe but they are the perfect side dish to Easter, Christmas, or Thanksgiving!
Ingredients
- 5 ea Sliced potatoes (yukon gold or russet; about 5 potatoes give or take)
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Cayenne pepper (to taste)
- 1 1/2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
- Paprika
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 1.5 quart baking dish (8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish will work). Sometimes we make these in our individual ramekins.
In a small sauce pan on medium heat, melt butter and stir in flour. Cook stirring constantly until nice and smoooooooth.
Whisk in the milk very slowly and add the salt and cayenne.
Cook sauce on medium until smooth and well combined. It doesn't need to be up to a boil. Just make sure to stir occasionally with a whisk.
Reduce heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese. Mix it up to a delicious cheesy sauce. Pro-tip: it's okay to want more cheese in there, but don't add it here. You want that sauce to flow easily out of the saucepan.
Place a half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half of cheese sauce over potatoes. Repeat with second layer of potatoes and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Top with some paprika for color.
Bake uncovered for about 1 hour at 350°F or longer until the potatoes are fork tender, or you just can't stand it anymore, cause they smell good!
