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

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 (1/8 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!

    Can I make this a day ahead and reheat?

      Yes, you can! I would just keep the potatoes in the casserole dish, cover it with foil, refrigerate it, and then reheat it in the preheated oven at 350 F, uncovered, for about 20 or 30 minutes the next day.

    Absolutely the easiest and best potato recipe Ever!!! Really…I’ve tried so many different potato recipes in the past, but this one is perfect just the way it is. I didn’t have fresh thyme but used ground thyme proved to be fabulous .

    I’ve made a lot is scalloped taters in my life but this was by far the easiest and best recipe ever. I’m teahing my kid to cook and wanted something easy and cheesy. The picture of these perfect golden brown delights drew me in and ours turned out just the same! The only difference to ours was a mix of Romano and parm and a larger shallow dish to maximize the crispy layer. They are a 10! Way to go and thanks for sharing!!
