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!

Hello Diane! Thank you for another great idea, to bring variety to the table. Have a beautiful week! Michael
You’re welcome Michael have a great day!
Sounds and looks delicious Diane
Thanks Sheree!
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!
Oh, I love potatoes and cheese! Your’s looks really delicious (and easy peasy), we’ll try that 😋.
Thank you!
Mmm! Real comfort food 🙂
Thanks Chris there is nothing better than comfort food.
I try to stay away from potatoes these days, but the cheesy version would be hard to pass up!
Oh my you have SO much will power! They are my weakness along with pasta.
Looks so delicious and saucy and love the use and kick of paprika!
We have been adding paprika to so many of our potato recipes. I not only love the flavor but the color too. Thanks Ab!
Yes, paprika is a lovely spice.
Cheesier than my jokes!! 😁
Let me get back to you on that! 😂🤣😂
😝😁
YUM – these look and sound delicious!
Thanks Cate!
More heavenly potato recipes!! 😍😋
I take it you love potatoes as much as I do! ❤️
Oh yes, I could live on potatoes if I had to! ❤
Love it!
Thank you!
One of my favorites. The recipe looks great.
Thank you Bernadette! My mom made these all the time when I was a kid but without the cheese.
I like that I don’t have to make a roux for these. I will have to give them a try. I am lazy and have been using Betty Crocker potatoes, but nothing tastes as good as home made.
I agree Carla, homemade fresh potatoes are so much better than dehydrated.
Mmmmm I just LOVE scalloped potatoes! I am definitely going to make these soon! The recipe I have used for a long time has cream of mushroom soup in it but this looks much better and just as easy 🙂 Thanks for sharing Diane!
You’re very welcome Angie!
I love scalloped potatoes! My husband always wants mashed but I prefer scallop or baked. Thanks for the recipe!
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.
That’s a great idea, thanks😊
You’re welcome! ❤️
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!
These Scalloped Potatoes were similar to my moms but without the cheese. I’m with you about mornings Janet! Lol
These look absolutley gorgeous. I think my son would really love them. I’ll have to try this when he gets back from Uni in the summer.
I don’t know if I like them better with or without cheese because they are so good both ways. Thank you Jo and I hope he like them as much as we do.
Have a great Sunday and thank you!
They look delish Diane – I’m easy to please … give me anything with cheese.
I always knew you were cheesy Linda! 🤣😂🤣 Thank you!
Ha ha – I do cheese (especially cheese Goldfish). 🙂
Oh YES! I love the Goldfish too. I seriously can devour an entire bag and don’t buy them for that reason.
Oh another Goldfish lover! I can also devour an entire bag. I buy the whole grain telling myself that is smart but then if I have a bad day, they are my go-to treat. We’ve had some major computer issues at work … I’ve been late getting here every night, only after downing a lot of Goldfish!
Reblogged this on Recipe Goals.
Thanks so much Leah!
Sounds like a great side dish (or main dish for me!) Looks delicious!
Awe thanks Leah!
