Homemade Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

I love boxed scalloped potatoes, but this takes scalloped potatoes to a whole new level. Plus, they have simple ingredients and come together quickly and easily.

Equipment

Saucepan
Whisk
9x9-inch baking pan

Ingredients

6 russet potatoes thinly sliced, about 4 cups
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
1½ cups milk
1 teaspoon salt
dash of cayenne pepper
1½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese divided
paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small sauce pan, melt butter over low heat.
Mix in the flour and stir until incorporated. Add the milk and stir well with a whisk.
Add salt and cayenne pepper for flavor. Continue to cook sauce on low heat until it boils, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Remove pan from heat and add 1 cup of cheese. Stir well until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Spread half of the thinly sliced potatoes in an 9×9″ baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes and cheese sauce and top with the remaining grated cheese.
Sprinkle paprika on top and bake uncovered for 1 hour.

Notes

Try to slice your potatoes thinly so they cook evenly.
