Recipe Tips

To make the white sauce even more flavorful, you can add some chopped herbs like rosemary or thyme. You can also use chicken or vegetable broth instead of milk for a different flavor. Make sure to slice the potatoes evenly so they cook evenly. You can also cover the baking dish with foil for the first 20 minutes of baking to prevent the top from browning too quickly. Serve the scalloped potatoes hot, garnished with chopped parsley or chives.
