Easy Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are a rich, creamy, and comforting side dish perfect for holidays or weeknight dinners. Made with thinly sliced potatoes, heavy cream, garlic, cheddar, and parmesan cheese, this oven-baked classic delivers a golden top with irresistibly cheesy layers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds Russet or Yukon Gold potatoes
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Pepper to taste
  • 2 cups freshly grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F and move rack to the middle position.
  2. Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a mandoline slicer.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Heat until just about to boil, then remove from heat.
  5. Grease a 9×13 baking dish. Layer half of the potato slices in the dish, slightly overlapping.
  6. Pour half of the cream mixture over the potatoes and sprinkle with half of the cheddar and parmesan cheese.
  7. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, cream, and cheeses.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for an additional 25–35 minutes until golden and a knife slides in easily.
  10. Let sit for 5–10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Use a mandoline slicer for even potato slices.
  • Grate your own cheese for best texture and meltability.
  • Let the dish rest before serving to help it set.
  • Reheat on low heat to prevent sauce separation.
  • Avoid freezing after baking due to the cream and cheese content.
