Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 2 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Vegetable Broth
  • 4 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tbsp Fresh Thyme Leaves
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 tsp Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 3 lb yukon gold potatoes
  • 1/2 yellow onion
  • Medium Cheddar Cheese

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. 2

    In a medium skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk for 1 minute, then slowly add the milk followed by the vegetable broth, whisking continuously. Add the garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper and cook, whisking often, for to 3 minutes, or until the sauce lightly coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat.

  3. 3

    Layer half of the potatoes at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half the onion, then half the sauce and 1 cup of the cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onion, sauce, and ½ cup cheese.

  4. 4

    Cover and bake for 30 minutes, then uncover and bake for to 40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese on top is browned. Let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.

There's a quiet satisfaction in watching layers of creamy richness and earthy depth unfold, a testament to the quiet power of patience and respect for simple, honest ingredients.
