Old Fashion Scalloped Potatoes image

Old Fashion Scalloped Potatoes (AKA Au Gratin Potatoes) just like grandma made are the perfect side dish for almost any meal. Just follow these easy step by step photo instructions for this classic homemade dish.

Provided by Dan Mikesell AKA DrDan

Categories     Potato

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 medium potatoes (4 cups prepared)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons AP flour
1 ½ cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
⅙ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of choice)
1 sprinkle paprika (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350, not convection.
  • Slice 5-6 medium russet potatoes about 1/8 inch to make about 4 cups. If you have crazy ninja knife skills, you can do this by hand, but a mandolin is a good thing here. The setting on mine for this is "thin."
  • Rinse the potato slices in a bowl of cold water. Let soak until ready to use then dry a bit with a paper towel.
  • Start the sauce with 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat in a large pan. When melted, add 3 tablespoons flour and whisk for a few minutes. Add 1 ½ cup milk. Frequently whisk for a couple of minutes and add 1 teaspoon salt and ⅙ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional.) Bring to a light boil and whisk contentiously, and this will start to thicken in a few more minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and add 1 cup of cheese. I used sharp cheddar. Whisk until smooth and remove from heat.
  • Layer half of the potatoes into a casserole dish (6 by 9 inches) that has been sprayed with PAM. Put them in individually, so they are not stuck together. Do not just dump them in.
  • Pour half the cheese sauce over the first half of the potatoes.
  • Add the second half of the potatoes, then rest of the cheese sauce. Now top with ½ cup of shredded cheese. Give a light sprinkle of paprika (an old fashion touch.)
  • Bake until potatoes are "fork-tender." This will be about an hour or a little more. Let sit for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a mandoline slicer: This is the easiest way to get consistently thin slices of potatoes.
  • Layer the potatoes and sauce in a baking dish: Be sure to overlap the potatoes slightly so that they cook evenly.
  • Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven: This will help them cook through evenly.
  • Cover the baking dish with foil: This will help the potatoes steam and cook more quickly.
  • Uncover the baking dish for the last 15 minutes of baking: This will allow the top of the potatoes to brown.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best when they are hot and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Scalloped Potatoes are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser.
