    Easy Scalloped Potatoes with Garlic, Thyme, and Parmesan cheese - delicious, super cheesy potatoes made with white cheese only (no Cheddar cheese in this recipe!).

    Cheesy scalloped potatoes, holiday potatoes, Christmas side dish

    I love potatoes! They are my go-to side dish whenever I need something quick and simple. Mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes - I make them all. But a special part in my heart belongs to these easy scalloped potatoes. Because this is one of those dishes that looks nice and fancy on a plate but in reality is a breeze to make.

    These are really the easiest scalloped potatoes ever! No need to make the creamy sauce in a separate pan, all you do is layer all the ingredients in a medium-sized, deep casserole dish and then bake for about 1 hour. Only one pan is used! The potatoes are creamy and cheesy!  Easy and quick clean-up after you're done!

    I used 6 yellow potatoes, peeled:

    There are 4 layers in this scalloped potatoes recipe. Each layer has thinly sliced potatoes (⅛ inch thick), salt, minced garlic, shredded Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, and heavy cream:

    After layering your casserole dish with the scalloped potatoes, bake, uncovered, for about 1 hour. While baking, the shredded Parmesan cheese melts and combines with heavy cream, coating the potatoes, producing the most delicious, cheesy scalloped potatoes ever!

      Hi I’m trying this recipe! I was just thinking if it would be good if I add sauté onions.
      Thank you

      These are delicious and SO easy. I stopped making scallop potatoes because it was just too time consuming. Every single one of my family members loved these even my pickiest eater!

      I loved these! I have a question would they be good with russet potatoes? Thank you

        You can make this with russet potatoes. Russet potatoes might cook faster - so I would check the potatoes for doneness early on, to make sure they don't get mushy.

      I am wondering if I could make this and freeze it uncooked. I’d like to make it for a new mom to have on one of those days when things are overwhelming. I’ve made this recipe several times it is delicious, my go to for scalloped potatoes!
