Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes — layers of starchy russet potatoes baked to perfection in a rich cheese sauce. This cheesy side is must-have at Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and every Sunday dinner!
Ingredients
- 4 lb russet potatoes sliced thin
- 3 c whole milk
- 1 1/2 c parmesan cheese grated
- 1 c mozzarella shredded
- 1 c mild cheddar shredded
- 8 tbsp salted butter
- 4 tbsp flour
- 1 tsp salt or more to taste
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp white pepper
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- Fresh parsley to garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°. In a skillet over medium flame, melt the butter then whisk in the flour. Let the flour cook for 1-2 minutes.
- Whisk in the milk to make the sauce. Lower the heat and add the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses. Stir constantly 3-4 minutes. Once melted, turn off the heat and stir in the garlic powder, paprika, nutmeg, white pepper, and salt to taste. Set it aside.
- Layer 1/2 of the potatoes in a 9x13 baking dish followed by 1/2 of the parmesan cheese. Pour remaining potatoes, parmesan, and cheese sauce.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and increase the heat to 475°. Bake for another 20 minutes. If you want a crispier top, broil for 3-5 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
