Description
Irresistibly creamy cheesy scalloped potatoes, perfect for family gatherings and holiday dinners.
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Russet Potatoes (peeled and sliced into ¼-inch slices, about 2 pounds)
- 1 piece Yellow Onion (sliced into rings)
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
- ½ teaspoon Kosher Salt
- 2 cups Whole Milk (room temperature)
- 1 ½ cups Mild Cheddar Cheese (shredded)
- Salt and Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare a baking dish by greasing it with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for about 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens, about 5-6 minutes.
- Add the salt and shredded cheese to the sauce, stirring until melted and smooth.
- Layer the sliced potatoes and onions in the prepared dish, seasoning with salt and pepper between layers.
- Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes and onions, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving, allowing the dish to set.
