I just want to comment, This is NOT a Scalloped potato recipe. It is a recipe for Potatoes Au Gratin! A true Scalloped Potato recipe does not contain Cheese!

I have made this recipe for years, but have not added the cheese. For the reader who said hers scorched when she tried to melt the cheese, she could just take off the burner and mix the cheese with the sauce. The cheese will finish melting as the dish cooks. I use the same sauce for macaroni and cheese, and it works well (adding about 3/4 pound Velveeta - 2 cups macaroni - cooked as directed)

This was easy and great. I added a layer of ham.

It was very good and easy to make but wouldn't these be called augratin potatoes because of the cheese? Scalloped potatoes usually don't have cheese added.

This is surprisingly easy and goes well with any meat entree! I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! You can easily bake it at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes and it will taste fine. Very yummy! I will be making again!

Not bad but not the best scalloped potatoes I've ever had. Very easy to make though so will be a stand-by recipe for when there's not much time to be had.

I think I must be the only person who considers a "scallopped potato" recipe that includes cheese a potato gratin. Although I enjoyed this recipe, I grew up having scalloped potatoes, but they didn't have cheese...

I usually make the "Peppery Scalloped Potatoes Recipe" from this site, but I think we liked this one a little bit better because it's so rich and creamy.

I made these potatoes for Easter Dinner. Making them again tonight for dinner. Everyone absolutely loved them!! I doubled the butter,flour, and cheese mixture. I also added some swiss & gruyere cheese blend. They were wonderful. I was told by my husband to not try any other cheese potatoes recipe again, because he only wants this one!
