Easy Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Sliced potatoes that are layered with butter, seasonings and sprinkled with flour. Add milk, bake for an hour until tender and top with paprika, parsley and cheese. The cheese is optional but I like to add it one time and the next time leave it off. This gives me two different potato dishes using the same recipe.
Spray a 3 or 4 quart casserole dish with cooking oil.
Peel and slice the potatoes about 1/4” thick.
Place a layer of sliced potatoes on the bottom of
the casserole dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper,
place about 5 pats of butter on top and
sprinkle with 1 tsp of all purpose flour.
Repeat layers with your desired amount of potatoes.
It can be filled to the top or only halfway like I did.
Add milk about 3/4 of the way to the top
of the potatoes and sprinkle with paprika.
Bake at 375º, uncovered, for 1 hour or until the milk
is mostly absorbed and the potatoes are tender.
Sprinkle with parsley and serve or continue with
the next step for cheesy scalloped potatoes.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese and put the potatoes
back into the oven until the cheese is melted.
Then serve!

My wife loves NOTHING more than potatoes, especially mashed. I think scalloped are a close second.

That’s so funny because I almost mashed these! But I didn’t have a scalloped potatoes post so I decided not to mash them. I think these would have been delicious mashed too.

Delicious! This is exactly how my mom made her scalloped potatoes, right down to the Corning Ware! She didn’t use cheese, but it certainly would be a hit in our house!!!!

I have always made them without cheese, for decades, then I decided to try them with cheese and it was nice to change it up a bit. Without the cheese is definitely the old school way of making them and how my mom taught me. Thanks Dorothy!

Keep half of these for you and mash the other half for him. I almost mashed mine when they came out of the oven just because I have never tried it before using the scalloped potatoes recipe, but I wanted to post this recipe first. I added a little too much milk and they would have been perfect mashed.

This looks fabulous, Diane! My mother made wonderful scalloped potatoes but failed to write down the recipe. I’ve tried to duplicate hers, but so far I haven’t even come close. By the way, I’m making your Breakfast Sausage Pizza for supper tonight because I’m not a morning person. Lol!
