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.

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.

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!

Irish Soda Bread Scones
These Irish soda bread scones resemble traditional Irish soda bread, but in scone form. They're buttery, studded with raisins, lightly sweet, and lightly salty. No rise time required—both the airy texture and the name come from baking soda, which reacts with acidic buttermilk to create air bubbles. Serve warm or at room temperature with butter, jam, or clotted cream.
