If you're looking for a tasty and easy side dish for your next dinner party, look no further than these cheesy scalloped potatoes! This classic comfort food is sure to please even the pickiest eaters, and it's perfect for any occasion.
To make this dish, you'll need the following ingredients:
- 6 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour, salt, and pepper, and whisk until smooth. Gradually add the milk, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened and bubbly.
Next, add 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese to the sauce and stir until melted. In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes, then pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
Finally, sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the potatoes. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
These cheesy scalloped potatoes are the perfect side dish for any meal, whether it's a holiday gathering or a weeknight dinner. They're easy to make, delicious, and sure to please everyone at the table!
