These Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes are definitely worthy of a special occasion but can also be enjoyed any night of the week you feel special. Creamy potatoes, onions, garlic and cheese make this a tasty family favorite.
Scalloped Potatoes are probably one of my favorite sides to prepare when thinking of comfort<—taste and that overall feeling of being satisfied. Ahhh…
You know that feeling you get after eating a great meal and just hunkering down in the house for the Evening.
Hence with the cooler weather coming and the holidays I’m preparing a lot more of those dishes.
These Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes have become a favorite in my house. And they’re also great leftover so make sure to make a big pan!
Really once you get the potatoes peeled and sliced the rest doesn’t take that long. You could actually use a mandolin slicer to make these but I prefer to do mine by hand with my knife.
I’m just better able to judge the level of thickness of the potato like that. Ohhh, and also I’m a little bit intimated by really sharp objects…So needless to say my mandolin slicer is collecting a lot of dust.
So either way just allow yourself a little extra time to make these but I promise they are sooo worth it. You know what they say..HUH..Good things come to those who wait…Good things like Po-ta-toes!
Guess that’s why we patiently wait for all the good food over the Holidays.
Also I kind of just equate it with a little extra time to Chill.
Cause usually along with the holidays you get a few days to just kick back and really enjoy all the awesome food.
But you don’t need to wait to enjoy these Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes with your family since:
- You can always use comfort any day of the week
- Makes your house smell amazing while they’re slowly baking
- Everyone loves Ultimate Scalloped Potatoes
- It’s really okay to indulge yourself with a little self control 🙂

Confession: I’m a little bit afraid of a mandoline slicer too! I love the look of these potatoes. I’m so glad to find a recipe that doesn’t include mushrooms!
Omggggg I love scalloped potatoes! Do you use a mandolin slicer to cut the potatoes or slice by hand?
By hand…I like to be able to control thickness of potatoes..Like them a little on the thicker side.
My grandmother and aunt make a classic scalloped potatoes recipe that is always a hit, but yours sounds just as delicious that I NEED to try ASAP! 🙂 Yum!!
It’s definitely addicting..Hope you get to try!
I agree that this would be perfect on a cool evening! Add a little leftover ham..yum!!! Perfect food for hibernating! Of course, potatoes are perfect any time!!!
Yes they are Lisa!
I am so with you about the mandoline. It does make some seriously beautiful slices but I like my digits. Scalloped potatoes are the best and can’t wait to try these!
