These classic scalloped potatoes are tender, creamy, and delicious. This is the way my mother always made her scalloped potatoes. The key is to heat the milk first!
Ingredients
- 3 pounds russet potatoes , thinly sliced
- ½ onion , thinly sliced
- 9 tablespoons all-purpose flour , divided
- 6 tablespoons butter , cubed and divided
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 3 cups whole milk , or as needed
Instructions
-
1
Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2
Spread about 1/3 of the potato slices into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with about 1/3 of the onion slices. Sprinkle 3 tablespoons flour over the potato and onion. Arrange 2 tablespoons cubed butter atop the flour. Season the entire layer with salt and pepper. Repeat layering twice more.

Heat milk in a saucepan over medium-low heat until warm. Pour enough warm milk over mixture in the baking dish so the top of the liquid is level with the final layer of potatoes.

4
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are tender and the creamy sauce is bubbling with a golden brown crust, 45 to 60 minutes. The cream sauce may bubble up over the sides of the baking dish; place a baking sheet underneath to catch any drips. Serve hot and enjoy!

Spinach Rolls with Puff Pastry
This spinach puff pastry snack is a vegetarian version of mini sausage rolls with a spinach and feta filling. I used frozen spinach because it was a better buy than fresh at the time but the equivalent amount of fresh spinach, chopped and wilted, would do the job.
100% Whole Wheat Harvest Pancakes
Finally a whole wheat pancake recipe that my kids gobbled up like they were going out of style! Spiced with fall flavor (apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and a hint of vanilla). These were so awesome, we had to share! I live at 4800 ft above sea level and cooked them at 375 degrees F.
Eggplant and Ground Beef Lasagna
I couldn't decide if I wanted lasagna or moussaka the other night; this eggplant lasagna with meat came out as a yummy combo of the two! Spinach lasagna noodles work well in this if you can get them. Also, try ground lamb in place of beef for another variation.
