We’ve made several batches of this scalloped poatoes recipe and shared it with colleagues, neighbors and the UPS delivery guy. They all raved about how delicious, flavorful, tender and creamy these potatoes were. Everyone agreed it was one of the best if not THE BEST scalloped potatoes they ever had. Every bite is loaded with savory and tender potatoes dripping with gravy. Give it a try anytime you have a craving for an easy scalloped potatoes recipe and you’ll see why we’re over the moon with one of our favorite Thanksgiving scalloped potato recipes ever! When you’re making this scalloped potatoes recipe, just make sure to slice the potatoes thin and most importantly, evenly with consistent cuts. You don’t want to have a mix of thin and thick slices because the casserole won’t cook evenly. Be careful and try to cut them thin with a mandolin or sharp knife (we highly recommend using a cut-safe glove with a mandoline).
