They all raved about how delicious, flavorful, tender and creamy these potatoes were. Everyone agreed it was one of the best if not THE BEST scalloped potatoes they ever had.

Give it a try anytime you have a craving for an easy scalloped potatoes recipeand you’ll see why we’re over the moon with one of our favorite Thanksgiving scalloped potato recipes ever! When you’re making this scalloped potatoes recipe, just make sure to slice the potatoes thin and most importantly, evenly with consistent cuts. You don’t want to have a mix of thin and thick slices because the casserole won’t cook evenly. Be careful and try to cut them thin with a mandolin or sharp knife (we highly recommend using a cut-safe glove with a mandoline).

I won’t look at any other scalloped potato recipe ever again. There were no left overs. These are staying with the family for generations to come. -

Can’t wait to make these again for the holidays. I got to make them last year and they were a huge hit! -

My whole family really loved the tender creaminess of this recipe. They’re all asking if I’m going to make it again for the Holidays. You bet I am! -

Thank you for this. This was the best recipe ever for scalloped potatoes period. My whole family really enjoyed this. My son called his friends over to eat. It was so creamy. I made sure not to use salted butter and I am glad I did. All of the flavors came from the cheese and stock. I think the next time around I am going to have some fun with it and add onions and chives. Thank you so much, I won’t have to look at another scalloped potato recipe again, will just have to make two at a time now..-

Could you make this a few days ahead and keep it in the fridge?
-
Diane — Reply
Hi Katie, yes you can make this up to 3 days ahead of time. When you’re ready to serve, take it out of the fridge for about 1 hour so it can come to room temperature. Then warm in the oven at about 300F for about 15 minutes OR until it’s warmed to your liking.
