Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C) and give your casserole dish a light spritz of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Now, let’s create a delicious base: layer the bottom of your prepared dish with thinly sliced potatoes, arranging them neatly for even cooking.
Step 3
Next, sprinkle a generous layer of cheddar cheese over the potatoes, followed by a light dusting of flour to help bind everything together.
Step 4
Don’t forget to season with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
Step 5
Repeat this delightful layering process with the remaining potatoes, cheese, and flour, making sure to finish with a glorious layer of cheese on top for that irresistible golden crust.
Step 6
Now, it’s time to add some creaminess! Pour skim milk evenly over the entire dish, allowing it to seep through the layers and bring everything together.
Step 7
Cover your casserole dish with aluminum foil to keep the moisture in, and pop it into the preheated oven.
Step 8
Let it bake for about 45 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender and ready to soak up all that cheesy goodness.
Step 9
After 45 minutes, carefully remove the foil and let the casserole bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 10
This is when the magic happens—the cheese will bubble up and turn a beautiful golden brown, creating a mouthwatering topping that’s hard to resist.
Step 11
Once it’s done, take a moment to admire your creation before serving.
Step 12
Enjoy this comforting dish with family and friends, and watch as it becomes a favorite at your table!.
