A creamy and cheesy scalloped potato dish that’s comforting and perfect for any gathering.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 yellow onion, sliced into rings
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
  • 2 cups whole milk, room temperature
  • 1 1/2 cups mild cheddar cheese, shredded
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly butter or spray a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Layer potato slices in the bottom of the dish, scatter onion rings and season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat until all are used.
  3. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat, whisk in flour to form a roux, and cook for 1-2 minutes without browning.
  4. Slowly add milk while whisking until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 4-6 minutes.
  5. Stir in kosher salt and most of the shredded cheddar, reserving some for the topping. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  6. Pour cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes, ensuring all slices are coated. Sprinkle remaining cheddar on top.
  7. Cover with foil and bake for 45-55 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  8. Remove foil and bake an additional 10-15 minutes to brown the top. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

Use a mandoline or sharp knife for uniform slices. Room-temperature milk aids in creating a smooth sauce.
