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.
3
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!
