This cheesy scalloped potatoes recipe is a comforting and hearty dish, perfect as a side or even a main course. Using a mandolin and a cheese grater makes prep quick and easy. Here’s how to make it: Ingredients: • 8 cups potatoes (about 3 pounds), peeled and sliced very thin (⅛ inch thick) • 4 tablespoons butter • ½ cup diced onion • 1 teaspoon minced garlic • 6 tablespoons flour • 1 cup chicken broth • 2 cups milk • Salt and pepper, to taste • 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated Instructions: 1. Prep the Potatoes & Pan • Spray a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick spray and preheat your oven to 350°F. • Wash, dry, and peel the potatoes. Use a mandolin or slicer attachment to slice them very thin (about ⅛ inch thick). 2. Make the Sauce • In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened (about 3–4 minutes). • Sprinkle in the flour, whisking to combine, and cook for another 2 minutes. • Reduce the heat to low and slowly whisk in the chicken broth. Gradually add the milk while continuing to whisk. • Increase the heat to medium, stirring constantly until the mixture comes to a boil and thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste. • Remove from heat and stir in the grated cheddar cheese until fully melted. 3. Assemble the Dish • Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in a single layer in the prepared pan. Season lightly with salt and pepper. • Pour half of the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes. • Layer the remaining potatoes on top, season again with salt and pepper, and pour the rest of the sauce over them. 4. Bake the Potatoes • Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. • Remove the foil and bake for another 30–40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and golden on top. 5. Rest and Serve • Remove the dish from the oven and let the scalloped potatoes sit for 10–15 minutes to set before serving. Enjoy this creamy, cheesy dish—it’s perfect for any occasion!
