Here’s an Easy Scalloped Potatoes recipe that’s not only simple and quick but also absolutely delicious. The leftovers are just as good, maybe even better, the next day.
This is how to make scalloped potatoes from scratch! No cream of mushroom soup in this dish.
If you like your scalloped potatoes without cheese this recipe is not for you. This is scalloped potatoes au gratin!
This has become my standard recipe for scalloped potatoes. It also has very positive feedback from guests
This is one of my favorite and most prepared potato dishes.
If you’ve tried scalloped potatoes before and they turn out watery don’t worry. It just won’t happen with this recipe.
