These easy cheesy scalloped potatoes are the perfect Easter side dish. Thinly sliced potatoes cooked in a cream and cheese sauce. Great warm or at room temperature.
I love when I find easy side dishes like this one to make for my family. I used to buy those boxes of scalloped potatoes until I realized how easy they are to make at home.
While scalloped potatoes may have the makings of being a time-consuming dish, nothing could be further from the truth.
They are simple to make and so delicious and satisfying. This dish is savory, cheesy, and very hearty. It's the perfect side dish to go alongside meals such as Trisha Yearwood's Honey Mustard Glazed Ham.
No need to make them just for Easter. They are perfect for almost any dinner and are so tasty!
How to Make Perfectly Sliced Potatoes
For this side dish, the best way to slice potatoes is with a mandoline slicer. If you don't have a mandolin, you can use a chef's knife. Slice your potatoes in half, lengthwise, to create a flat, stable surface for cutting. Then simply use your knife (the sharper the better) to cut the potatoes as thinly as you can.
Length of Cooking Time
The cooking time on these potatoes depend on how thinly you slice the potatoes. I would not slice them paper thin, but if you do, cooking time might be around 40 minutes.
I use the middle size and that cooks for about an hour. If you go thicker than that, you might have to cook about 15 minutes more. The way you know they are done is when you stick a fork through the potatoes and they are tender.
