Mom's Scalloped Potatoes image

This is the way my mother always made her scalloped potatoes. The measurements are taken from other recipes because she always just winged it, but the method is the same. The key is to heat the milk first!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
½ onion, thinly sliced
9 tablespoons all-purpose flour, divided
6 tablespoons butter, diced and divided
salt and ground black pepper to taste
3 cups whole milk, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • Spread about 1/3 of the potato slices into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with about 1/3 of the onion slices. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour over the potato and onion. Arrange 2 tablespoons butter atop the flour. Season the entire layer with salt and pepper. Repeat layering twice more.
  • Heat milk in a saucepan until warm. Pour enough warm milk over the mixture in the baking dish so the top of the liquid is level with the final layer of potatoes.
  • Bake in preheated oven until potatoes are tender, 45 to 60 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of scalloped potatoes, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I'm glad I did! These potatoes were creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. I especially loved the crispy cheese topping. I'll definitely be making these again.

These scalloped potatoes are a great make-ahead dish. I often make them the day before and reheat them in the oven before serving. They're just as delicious the next day.

I love the versatility of this recipe. I've made it with different types of potatoes, cheeses, and seasonings, and it always turns out great. I also like to add sautéed onions or chopped ham to the potatoes for a little extra flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made a few modifications to this recipe. I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and I replaced the bacon with sautéed mushrooms. The potatoes turned out just as creamy and cheesy, and the mushrooms added a nice earthy
