How to Make Peppery Scalloped Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 10.75 oz (1 can) condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper.
  3. Peel and thinly slice 3 pounds russet potatoes. Thinly slice 1 medium onion.
  4. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Layer 1/3 of the potatoes and onions in the prepared dish.
  6. Dot with 1/3 of 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, sprinkle with 1/3 of 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and pour 1/3 of the soup mixture over the layer.
  7. Repeat layers twice more, ending with the remaining soup mixture.
  8. Bake, uncovered, for 1 hour and 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and bubbly. If desired, sprinkle with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  9. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
