Sunday Supper Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup shredded Gruyère or sharp cheddar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup crispy fried shallots or French fried onions
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and generously grease a baking dish.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute, just until smooth and lightly golden. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and turns silky.
- Stir in the cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Keep stirring until the sauce is creamy and fully melted.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, then pour over half of the cheese sauce. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce, smoothing the top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender. Remove the foil and bake for another 15 minutes, until the top is bubbling and lightly golden.
- Right before serving, scatter the crispy shallots over the top for that perfect crunch.
