Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes. Yukon Gold potatoes are the best choice for this dish, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
  • Slice the potatoes evenly. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the dish a rich, flavorful sauce.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes. They should be tender, but still have a slight bite to them.
  • Serve the dish hot. Scalloped potatoes are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven.

Creamy scalloped Yukon spuds are a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
