Scalloped Potatoes
Description
This scalloped potatoes dish starts with layering 1/4 inch sliced russet potatoes and minced yellow onion in a baking dish, seasoned with kosher salt. A roux is prepared on the stovetop by melting butter, whisking in flour and black pepper, then gradually adding milk and heavy cream to form a thickened cream sauce. The sauce is poured evenly over the potatoes and baked covered at 375°F for 45 minutes to tenderize the potatoes.
After this initial bake, shredded cheddar cheese is spread atop and the dish is returned to the oven uncovered to brown and melt the cheese for an additional 25 minutes. The result is tender potato slices in a creamy, velvety sauce with a golden, cheesy crust on top. The onion adds subtle sweet depth. This rich dish complements roasted or grilled meats or can serve as a hearty vegetarian main with salad.
The included note mentions that cooking times are clickable for an interactive timer, helping users keep track of each stage during preparation.
