Thinly sliced potatoes are combined with butter, cream and tons of cheese before being baked to a bubbly, golden perfection. Simple to prepare and fantastic for entertaining.
---------------------------------------FULL RECIPE BELOW-------------------------------------

INGREDIENTS
3 ounces Butter
1 garlic clove minced
4 tablespoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
2 cups low-fat milk
2 cups shredded white cheddar
5 cups thinly sliced yukon gold potatoes
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°.
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute. Whisk in the cornstarch, salt and pepper until smooth.
Gradually add the milk and bring to a boil. Cook the sauce stirring constantly until thickened, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Remove from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of the cheese until melted. Stir in the potatoes.
Transfer to a 2 quart baking dish coated with cooking spray. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Cover and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 30-45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the sauce is golden brown and bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow to stand 5-10 minutes before serving.

    Made this recipe with 4 large potatoes and it came out so well with plenty of leftovers. Made our Christmas feel a little more normal. Thank you! 😇

    I just wanna say, putting the sauce and mixing it with the potatos like that makes a HUGE difference rather than just layering it, thank you for this tip!

    I made these in July. And god they were the best that I ever tasted. Well I’m back to make again. So lucky to have found this video again!!!

    Kellie, thanks for this recipe. I prepared it Christmas Eve UNCOOKED.and refrigerated It overnight. The next morning it was a bit watery on top, maybe separated since I used 1 cup each fat free milk and cream. I stirred it all up and baked it. It worked great and was delicious. It was decadently thick. Next time I’ll use all milk for a less thick version.

    Family says these are the best scalloped potatoes I have ever made! Tasted amazing with the Easter ham! I doubled the recipe to use the 5lb bag of potatoes...I had to switch up the cheese based on what I had though.. so I used 2 cups shredded swiss, 1 cup fancy expensive swiss, 1 cup shredded medium cheddar. I also ran out of milk so 2 cups milk, one cup of heavy cream, one cup sour cream... I was really hoping they would be as good as the original recipe - and I stuck with the portions of cheese & dairy. THANKS for sharing this recipe!
  • @twinsisterDJ

    OMG, I’ve been working too hard making this dish! I tried this recipe this week and it was great. My 6 year old autistic daughter even helped. It was so delicious with minimal effort. I will never go back to the old way again. The only thing I did differently was use shredded Gouda (I didn’t feel like going to the store)🤗
