Classic Scalloped Potatoes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Classic Scalloped Potatoes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C) and greasing a 9x13-inch baking dish to ensure your scalloped potatoes don’t stick.

2. Step 2

   Begin layering your dish with about one-third of the sliced potatoes, creating a beautiful base.

3. Step 3

   Next, sprinkle half of the sliced onions over the potatoes, adding a delightful crunch and flavor.

4. Step 4

   To enhance this layer, evenly dust 3 tablespoons of flour over the potatoes and onions, then dot the top with 2 tablespoons of diced butter.

5. Step 5

   Don’t forget to season this layer generously with salt and pepper to bring out all the flavors.

6. Step 6

   Now, repeat this layering process two more times, using the remaining potatoes, onions, flour, and butter, and remember to season each layer with salt and pepper for that perfect taste.

7. Step 7

   While your layers are coming together, warm some milk in a saucepan until it’s just nice and cozy—not boiling, just warm enough to blend beautifully with the potatoes.

8. Step 8

   Pour enough of this warm milk over your layered masterpiece in the baking dish until it reaches the top of the final layer of potatoes, creating a creamy, dreamy texture.

9. Step 9

   Cover your dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven.

10. Step 10

    Let it bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and inviting.

11. Step 11

    For the last 15 minutes, remove the foil to let the top brown slightly, creating a lovely golden crust that’s hard to resist.

12. Step 12

    Once your scalloped potatoes are done baking, take them out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

13. Step 13

    This little pause will help the flavors settle and make serving easier.

14. Step 14

    Now, dig in and enjoy the comforting, creamy goodness of your homemade scalloped potatoes!.
