Easy Scalloped Potatoes

September 26, 2018 By Kallee 7 Comments

These easy scolloped potatoes are just like mom made and maybe the ultimate comfort food.

There are many different versions of scalloped potatoes and everyone has their favorite.  Some recipes use cheese and some, like my version, use a homemade white sauce.  The secret to really good scalloped potatoes is to give them enough time to cook, so the potatoes are nice and tender.  When I make this recipe I plan to start making it two hours ahead of when I plan to serve dinner.   I am not in the kitchen that whole time.  Once the recipe is prepped and popped in the oven you are free to do what you want for about an hour and a half.  Slicing the potatoes nice and thin so they are all the same thickness is another key to making a perfect dish of scalloped potatoes.  I use a mandolin slicer with great results.  It is also makes slicing go very quickly.

If you want to get the kids involved in the kitchen have them peel the potatoes.  It is a great skill for them to learn.  Plus they are always amazed at home much faster I can peel a potato than they can.  I tell them it comes from years of practice.

    These look so delicious and comforting. My husband keeps asking me to make potatoes like this and I like yours because they don’t have cream in them which lightens them up.

    I love scalloped potatoes. I love your photo that shows how the sauce bubbled up all over your dish, that is exactly how mine comes out of the oven.
