These Scalloped Potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal. They are creamy, cheesy, and full of flavor. The potatoes are thinly sliced and layered with a creamy sauce and cheese. They are then baked until golden brown and bubbly.

Ingredients

Scale

3 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup unsalted butter
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Gradually whisk in milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
Stir in salt, pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese until melted.
Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove foil and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and top is golden brown.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley.

Notes

For the best results, slice the potatoes uniformly to ensure even cooking. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after baking to allow the sauce to thicken. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
