Scalloped Potatoes

This recipe is a comforting classic, made with layers of tender, thinly sliced potatoes smothered in a rich, creamy sauce. Whether served alongside a holiday ham or as a hearty side to a weeknight dinner, these scalloped potatoes are always a hit in my house!

What makes this recipe so special? The sauce! No need for canned soupโ€”just a simple, from-scratch sauce is made with a handful of ingredients and bakes up golden and bubbly. Whether you’re making it for Easter or a weeknight treat, these scalloped potatoes are sure to disappear fast!
