• 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.
