How to Make Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish generously.
  2. Prepare the potatoes by peeling (optional) and slicing them thinly, about ⅛ inch thick.
  3. Arrange the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish, overlapping them slightly.
  4. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth, then add the milk and cream gradually.
  5. Season your sauce with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens.
  6. Stir in the mozzarella and cheddar cheese until fully melted and smooth.
  7. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potato layer and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Uncover the dish and pour the remaining cheese sauce on top. Bake for an additional hour until golden brown.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley or dill before serving.
