Are you a crispy cheese person or a gooey cheese person? Either way, I’ve got you covered with these Asiago, Mozzarella, and Parmesan Scalloped Potatoes. Tender red potatoes drowned in a 3 cheese sauce, covered in a crispy cheese topping. The perfect side dish for all of your extra cheesy potato needs.
- Servings– 4 (makes a 9 inch round baking dish)
- Total Time– 1 hour 30 minutes
Scalloped Potatoes Ingredients:
- Red Potatoes– red potatoes are great for pan frying and scalloping. Leave the skin on for a bit of extra fiber and color.
- Cheese– grated Asiago, mozzarella, and Parmesan.
- Butter– salted or unsalted.
- Minced Garlic
- Flour– this will be used to make a light roux for your cheese sauce.
- Chicken Broth
- Cream– I tend to use half & half. It’s creamier than whole milk but has less calories and fat than heavy cream.
- Salt & Pepper
- Nutmeg– nutmeg is a great spice for creamy, cheesy dishes. A little can go a long way in enhancing the flavors.
Substitutions & Variations:
- Instead of red potatoes, Yukon Gold can be used.
- Try different cheese pairings. For a sharper flavor, try a blend of white and sharp cheddar cheese.

How to Make Scalloped Potatoes:
- Prepare Potatoes– rinse potatoes with water and pat dry. Using a mandoline slicer, carefully slice potatoes to a thickness of 1/8 inch. Set slices aside.
- Make Cheese Sauce- Grate and mix all cheeses in a mixing bowl. Melt butter in a large pot over medium-low heat. Add garlic and cook 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle flour over garlic and butter and whisk until a smooth and light in color paste forms. Slowly whisk in chicken broth until smooth. Whisk in cream, ground nutmeg, kosher salt, and pepper. Continue whisking for a few minutes until mixture has thickened slightly. The consistency should be like a thin gravy. Remove pot from heat, and fold in 1 cup of grated cheese, a handful at a time.
- Construct & Bake– Preheat oven to 375F. Meanwhile, grease an oven safe 9 inch baking dish with butter. Cover bottom of baking dish with 1/3 of sliced potatoes in a single, slightly overlapping layer. Top potatoes with half of cheese sauce. Repeat with another 1/3 potatoes and remaining cheese sauce. Add last layer of potatoes and top with remaining 1/2 cup grated cheese. Cover with foil and bake 60-90 minutes until potatoes are tender. For an extra crispy cheese topping, pop dish under the broiler for a minute or two. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t burn. Sprinkle with a bit of fresh parsley and fresh cracked pepper.
Scalloped Potatoes Leftovers:
- When stored properly in an airtight container, scalloped potatoes will last up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- To reheat potatoes, transfer to an oven safe baking dish and cover with foil. Bake at 375F for 15-20 minutes until warmed through.
Tips & Recipe Notes:
- Do not let flour and butter mixture brown. If it does start to brown, start over on a lower heat setting.
- This recipe can be doubled and baked in a 9×13 casserole dish.
