Gluten-Free Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Gluten-Free Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes.

1. Step 1

   Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).

2. Step 2

   While that warms up, grab a large casserole dish that’s safe for both the microwave and oven, and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup later.

3. Step 3

   In a spacious microwave-safe bowl, toss in some butter and pop it in the microwave on high for about 30 to 45 seconds, or until it’s beautifully melted.

4. Step 4

   Next, whisk in cornstarch and a pinch of cayenne pepper until you create a smooth paste that’s bursting with flavor.

5. Step 5

   Slowly pour in the milk, whisking as you go until everything is well blended.

6. Step 6

   Now, it’s time to thicken that delicious sauce! Microwave the mixture on high for 2 minutes, then give it a good stir.

7. Step 7

   Keep microwaving in 1-minute intervals, stirring each time, until the sauce thickens up nicely—this should take about 2 more minutes.

8. Step 8

   Once it’s thickened, stir in a generous amount of shredded Cheddar cheese until it melts into a creamy, dreamy sauce.

9. Step 9

   Now, let’s build our layers! Start by placing half of the sliced potatoes in your prepared casserole dish, then drizzle half of that luscious cheese sauce over the top.

10. Step 10

    Repeat this layering with the remaining potatoes and sauce for a hearty, cheesy delight.

11. Step 11

    If you’re feeling fancy, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese and a dash of paprika on top for an extra touch of flavor and color.

12. Step 12

    Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid and microwave on high for 10 minutes to get everything nice and warm.

13. Step 13

    Finally, transfer your dish to the preheated oven and bake it uncovered for about 20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the potatoes are tender.
