Scalloped Potatoes

What Makes Scalloped Potatoes So Special?

Scalloped potatoes are all about the **layers**—thinly sliced potatoes soaked in a luscious homemade cream sauce (sometimes with a hint of garlic or onion), baked slowly until they’re melt-in-your-mouth tender. Unlike au gratin potatoes, which often feature shredded cheese throughout, traditional scalloped potatoes focus more on the cream and rely on a buttery top layer—though many modern versions add cheese for even more indulgence.
