How To Make Scalloped Potatoes
The steps below are just a quick overview of how to make the recipe. The full process in detail is located in the recipe card at the end of the post.
This dish is super easy to make, so let’s get started!
Preheat your oven to the temperature listed on the recipe card (at the end of the post).
Grab a greased 9” x 13” baking dish and start layering 1/3 of the potato slices, followed by 1/3 of the onion slices. Sprinkle on some salt and pepper to taste. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes and onions are used up, then set the dish aside.
Yukon Gold potatoes have a thin skin and don’t need to be peeled prior to slicing them. They work beautifully in this dish!
In a skillet over medium-low heat, melt some butter.
Once the butter is melted, stir in the flour. Let it bubble for about 2 minutes while whisking to make sure there are no lumps.
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking as you go…
… until it’s all mixed together and warmed through.
Take the pan off the heat and pour the warm sauce evenly over the potato and onion layers.
Pop the dish in the oven and bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are nice and tender.
Serve it warm, and don’t forget to add a little extra salt and pepper if you like! Enjoy!
If you find yourself with leftovers the next day, this dish tastes amazing reheated.
