Then, voila! you're ready to serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture. If you don't have Russet potatoes, you can use Yukon Gold or white potatoes, but they may fall apart more easily.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: The thinner the potato slices, the more tender they will be. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in scalloped potatoes, so don't skimp on quality. Use a sharp cheddar cheese or a combination of cheddar and Gruyère cheese.
- Season the potatoes well: Don't forget to season the potatoes with salt and black pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or dried thyme.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When layering the potatoes and cheese in the baking dish, don't overcrowd the pan. The potatoes should be in a single layer, or they won't cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The scalloped potatoes are done baking when the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
- Let the potatoes rest before serving: Once the scalloped potatoes are done baking, let them rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect scalloped potatoes that your family and friends will love.
