Notes
We used russet potatoes but you can use red or yellow potatoes as well but I would slice thicker to prevent them from over cooking.
We love this topped with cheddar cheese but you can also use Asiago, Gruyère or your favorite type of cheese.
Recipe Tips
- Skillet Recommendation - I used my cast iron skillet because I have been loving it lately but any large skillet will work for this recipe.
- Potatoes - Slice the potatoes about the same size so they cook evenly and about the same time.
- Cooking Potatoes - As you are cooking potatoes, make sure to continue to stir as the potatoes and onions are cooking. The potatoes are done cooking when they are fork tender.
- Rest Scalloped Potatoes - After cooking the potatoes in the oven, we recommend to allow the scalloped potatoes mixture to rest. This allows the cheddar cheese sauce to thicken and gives everything time to marinate together.
- Cheese - We recommend shred cheese from bulk cheese instead of using pre-shredded cheese. It melts and taste better and pre-shredded cheese has added ingredients that are not necessary.
