Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized potatoes thinly sliced
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup cheese powder
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Potatoes:
- Wash, peel, and thinly slice 4–5 medium potatoes. Use a mandoline for even slices, if available.
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Stir in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk until smooth. Add 1/3 cup of cheese powder, salt, and pepper, and whisk until thickened.
Layer the Potatoes:
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of potato slices at the bottom, pour some cheese sauce over them, and repeat the layers until all the potatoes and sauce are used.
Bake:
- Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20–30 minutes until the top is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are tender.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the scalloped potatoes cool for 5–10 minutes before serving. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
