Scalloped Potatoes are loaded with tender potatoes, layered with ham and cheese and smothered in a rich and creamy sauce. It’s one of my favorite potato side dishes.

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds potatoes Russet
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
  • 12 slices ham
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking pan and set aside.
  • Bring a medium-large pot of water to boil. Place the potatoes into a large pot of boiling water. Cook for about 10 minutes.
  • Melt butter, onion and garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until well-combined, and then add in milk.
  • Cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to simmer and stir in cheddar cheese, salt and pepper. Whisk until well mixed.
  • Remove the par-boiled potatoes from the pot and let it cool slightly so that you can peel.
  • Cut into 1/8-inch thick slices. Place half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer in the baking dish and top with 1 layer of sliced ham. Spoon about half of the cheese sauce and spread it evenly on top. Repeat layers ending with cheese sauce, and then top with mozzarella cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes to cook the dish thoroughly, then remove the foil and broil on high for about 3 to 5 minutes or until the cheese turns golden brown and sizzling.
  • Remove from oven. Sprinkle with chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy!
