Ingredients
  

Potatoes and Onions
  • 4 russet potatoes peeled and sliced into 1/4-inch slices (about 2 pounds)
  • 1 yellow onion sliced into rings
Cheese Sauce
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 cups whole milk room temperature
  • 1.5 cups mild cheddar cheese shredded
  • to taste salt and pepper

Equipment

  • 8x8-inch casserole dish
  • medium-size saucepan
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly spray an 8x8-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Arrange the potatoes and onions in the prepared baking dish, staggering potato and then onion layers.
  3. In a medium-size saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and kosher salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in the milk. Cook until the mixture thickens.
  4. Stir in the shredded cheese all at once, and continue stirring until the sauce is melted and smooth, about 30 to 60 seconds.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce over the layered potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
  6. Bake for 85 to 90 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced.
  7. For a crisp topping, change the oven setting to broil after the potatoes are baked. Broil until the top is golden brown.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve your cheesy scalloped potatoes.

Notes

This recipe is naturally gluten-free if you confirm your flour and cheese do not contain gluten additives. For a richer flavor, you can substitute half of the whole milk with heavy cream. If you prefer a sharper cheese flavor, use sharp cheddar instead of mild cheddar.
