Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Sharing is caring!

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes are the ultimate side dish. Perfect for Thanksgiving or any gathering, these scalloped potatoes are truly divine.

These scalloped potatoes need to share the table with some Creamed Corn, Honey Roasted Carrots, and Creamed Mushrooms.

The first time I tried scalloped potatoes was at Roy’s in Hawaii. I didn’t order them because frankly I’m not really a potato lover but it came with the honey mustard short ribs I ordered and oh boy. They were so ridiculously good. When I got home I ran and bought myself a mandolin and made these about 10 times.

Back to those honey mustard short ribs, they were amazing. I once invited a couple of my friends over for dinner and made scalloped potatoes and honey mustard short ribs. Everyone suggested I try out to the television show Chopped. That’s my friend’s way of saying dinner was delicious. “Julie you definitely should try out for chopped”.

I like to slice the potatoes very thinly and make a creamy cheesy sauce for it.  These are very simple, but they’re incredible.

My little cousin thought this was mac and cheese and was a bit disappointed when I said they were potatoes but she LOVED it even claimed it was better than mac and cheese. I’m just going to have to take her word for it.
