How To Make Scalloped Potatoes Recipe?
- Preheat the Oven: Heat your oven to 180°C.
- Make the Sauce: Melt butter in a pan. Cook the onion and garlic for 3 minutes. Add flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk and chicken broth until smooth. Boil for 1 minute and season with salt and pepper.
- Assemble the Dish: Grease a baking dish. Layer potatoes, sprinkle salt and pepper, and pour sauce. Repeat layers, ending with sauce on top.

- Rest and Serve: Let it sit for 15 minutes, then serve.
Recipe Tips:
- Slice Potatoes Evenly: Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the potatoes evenly, about 3mm thick. This ensures they cook at the same rate.
- Layer Carefully: Spread the potatoes and sauce evenly in each layer for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Don’t Skip Foil: Cover the dish with foil during the first bake to keep the potatoes soft and moist.
- Season Every Layer: Lightly season each potato layer with salt and pepper to enhance the dish’s overall taste.
- Broil for a Crispy Top: After baking, broil the dish for 3-4 minutes to create a golden, crispy topping.
