How to Make Never Fail Scalloped Potatoes
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs russet potatoes.
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine sliced potatoes with 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until slightly softened but not cooked through.
- Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in 3 cups milk until smooth and thickened. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.
- In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the potatoes, then pour half of the white sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and white sauce. Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
