Scalloped Cheesy Potatoes Recipe

Sunday, February 3, 2019
Scalloped potatoes are the perfect side dish with any meal.

This is really a classic recipe that everyone makes just a little differently.

My version due to cheese lovers in this house, has to have added cheese so these are more Au Gratin style.

I use lots of garlic instead of onion, or you can use both if you like, fresh parsley and shredded provolone give this dish its Italian taste.

These potatoes are perfect with any meats you serve, great for entertaining, and perfect for potluck.

They have a hint of that smoked flavor using leftover ham, cooked bacon, or prosciutto mixed in.

With this crunchy topping, it just takes ordinary scalloped potatoes to the next level of yumminess.

I always end up making these after a big holiday ham with leftovers and everyone looks forward to these creamy baked spuds.

We love all kinds of casseroles, and I can make this my dinner when I add meat to it all in one pan meal!

Mom made many delicious casseroles growing up like this one and another favorite was the famous Classic Tuna Casserole back in the 1960s.


Scroll down to this easy recipe all homemade from scratch to get the best scalloped potato recipe you've ever eaten!
