If you are looking for the perfect side dish and you love potatoes, like I do, look no further. This Scalloped Potatoes recipe is the one! This one comes from Gimme Some Oven https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/

All we have to do is just bake

My family isn't as big on potatoes as I am. So, I don't make them nearly as much as I want to. And I usually want to all the time. I seriously could have potatoes of some kind every night.

Creamy goodness

I love the creaminess of these Scalloped Potatoes. I have tried others and this is by far my favorite. This was the perfect addition to my Thanksgiving meal.

Let the layering begin

Once the layering of the potatoes, cream sauce and cheese are done, you are ready to put them in the oven. The hardest part is waiting 55 minutes for them to bake!

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter
1 small white or yellow onion, peeled and thinly sliced
4 large garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken stock or vegetable stock
2 cups whole milk (or half and half)
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided
4 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, sliced into 1/8-inch rounds
2 cups freshly-grated sharp cheddar cheese*, divided (feel free to add more cheese if you’d like)
1/2 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

Instructions

Heat oven to 400°F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray, and set it aside.
Sauté the onion and garlic. Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent. Add garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Stir in the flour until it is evenly combined, and cook for 1 more minute.
Simmer the sauce. Gradually pour in the stock, and whisk until combined. Add in the milk, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon thyme, and whisk until combined. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce just barely begins to simmer around the edges of the pan and thickens. (Avoid letting it reach a boil.) Then remove from heat and set aside.
Layer the potatoes. Spread half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the pan. Top evenly with half of the cream sauce. (I usually strain out all of the onions and add them here too.) Then sprinkle evenly with 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and all of the Parmesan cheese. Top evenly with the remaining sliced potatoes, the other half of the cream sauce, and the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese.
Bake: Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. The sauce should be nice and bubbly around the edges. Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
Cool. Transfer the pan to a cooling rack, and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of thyme and extra Parmesan.
Serve. Serve warm.
