THE BEST CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES
What makes this the best out of all the scalloped potatoes recipes out there? I slice them extra thin and toss them in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Then, to make them the best ever, I sprinkle homemade bread crumbs on top-they get nice and crispy in the oven. Make room for these at all your family get-togethers. -Aria Thornton, Taste of Home Prep Cook

THE BEST SCALLOPED POTATOES
Creamy, cheesy and perfectly indulgent, scalloped potatoes are a classic for good reason. While cooking, the starch from the potatoes thickens the cream into a luscious sauce while the cheesy topping becomes golden and nutty in the oven. Allowing the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving makes it easier to slice.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with unsalted butter.
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1/8-inch-thick slices using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- Add the sliced potatoes, heavy cream, whole milk, 2 tablespoons butter, garlic, thyme, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and the nutmeg to a medium saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are tender and almost cooked through but still hold their shape, about 5 minutes. (They should not be soft and falling apart.) Remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Add the Gruyere and Parmesan, stirring gently to combine. Pour the potato mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake until the top is light golden brown and the potatoes are cooked through and tender, about 45 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:
- In a large covered casserole dish spray entire dish with a cooking spray and then spread 1 entire can of Cream of Mushroom soup evenly on the bottom (best way I've found to prevent the potatoes from sticking & adds flavor).
- Chop the onion into very small pieces & set aside.
- In a separate bowl mix 1 can of Cream of Mushroom soup, the Sour Cream and 1 TSP of Dry Lipton Onion Soup Mix (added for the flavor of the seasonings which makes it extra tasty).
- Peel & Slice the Potatoes Thin.
- LAYER #1: Start layering in the casserole dish with the Cream of Mushroom soup on the bottom: Layer of POTATOES then spread approx 6 spoonfulls of the SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture on top, then ONIONS then ½ cup of CHEDDAR CHEESE.
- LAYER #2: POTATOES then approx 6 spoonfulls of the SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture, then VELVETA CHEESE squares distributed evenly across.
- LAYER #3: POTATOES then all the remaining SOUP & SOUR CREAM mixture then the remaining 1 cup of CHEDDAR CHEESE.
- Sprinkle the chives evenly across the top.
- BAKE COVERED in the oven at 300 degrees for about 1½ hour.
- BAKE UNCOVERED for approx another 1 hour or as needed until done and top is slightly browned (test with a fork and make sure the potatoes are done). Note: Baking uncovered at the end helps reduce the excess moisture.

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.
- Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Use a good quality cheese: A sharp cheddar cheese will give your scalloped potatoes the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- Bake the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender when pierced with a fork.
- Let the potatoes rest before serving: This will help them set and make them easier to slice.
Conclusion:
Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With the right ingredients and a little bit of care, you can make scalloped potatoes that will be the hit of your next potluck or family dinner.
