Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 tablespoons . butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 1/4 cups wrm milk
1 cup havarti cheese, shredded
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 round round white potatoes or 2 round yukon gold potatoes, scrubbed
1 cup chunky salsa
1/4 cup pickled jalapeno pepper, slices drained (optional)

Steps:

In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add flour and cook, stirring for 1 minute. Whisk in milk and cook, whisking constantly, for 3-5 minute or until beginning to boil and thicken. Remove from heat and whisk in cheese, salt, oregano, cumin and pepper until smooth; set aside.
Peel and thinly slice potatoes. Arrange one-third of the slices into greased 8-inch baking dish. Spread with half of the salsa.
Repeat layers once and layer remaining potato slices on top. Pour cheese sauce over top and around sides to cover evenly and reach bottom of dish.
Sprinkle with pickled jalapeno peppers, if using.
Cover with foil or lid and bake in a 375F oven for 1 hour.
Uncover and bake for 30 minutes or until lightly browned and potatoes are tender. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are best for scalloped potatoes because they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
Slice the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to slice the potatoes about ⅛-inch thick.
Use a good quality cheese: Gruyère, Parmesan, or cheddar are all good choices for scalloped potatoes.
Layer the potatoes and cheese evenly: This will ensure that every bite has a little bit of both.
Bake the potatoes until they are tender and golden brown: This usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour.
Let the potatoes cool slightly before serving: This will help them hold their shape.
