Take-out Tuesday, Incredibly Easy Scalloped Potatoes
This recipe is adapted from Easy Potatoes Au Gratin created by
Scalloped potatoes are thinly sliced potatoes,
layered with cheese and butter or cream
Potatoes au Gratin are basically the same,
sliced potatoes baked with cheese and usually bread crumbs
which gives them a browned topping after baking
Instead of cream in these potatoes,
Helen’s recipe calls for cream cheese
I used whipped cream cheese and Kerry Gold real butter
Helen used russet potatoes and cut them into thick slices
I opted for red potatoes and cut them very thin
For my recipe I used a round, 3 qt glass casserole with a lid
Slice potatoes and begin layering them in a casserole dish,
about 1/4 of the potatoes per layer
Season with garlic salt and pepper
Melt butter and mix it with the cream cheese as well as possible
Spoon about 1/4 of mixture onto potato layer
Top with 1/4 of the grated cheese
Repeat layers 3 more times
Adjust layers if you’re using a different type of baking dish
Dish can be refrigerated at this point for baking later if desired
Set dish out of refrigerator for at least 30 minuted if chilled
Bake at 400 degrees covered for 30 minutes
Remove lid and continue to bake for 30 more minutes
Let potatoes sit for 10 minutes before serving
Buttery Cheesy good!
These are decadent, but worth the splurge…
Leftovers reheat well, cover and bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until hot

Looks delicious Helen. I will have to look for that cheddar blend with cream cheese. I don’t recall seeing it in my market.
Thanks Bernadette, the cheese blend is a shortcut I often take so I don’t have to grate cheese, it’s mixed with a little cream cheese to assure it melts well
Jenna, this looks delicious! Potatoes with lots of butter and cheese has to be fabulous. The hubby made his rosemary mashed potatoes last night for dinner, it was a calorie splurge but so good. Have a beautiful Tuesday!
Thanks Pam, dangerously easy to make!
I’ve never met a potato I didn’t like. My dad grew new potatoes in his garden this time of the year and I miss digging them out of the ground with him. This looks so good!
Wow, home grown potatoes, I bet they were good!
Jenna, this recipe is so very perfect for this time of the year! Cheese, cream cheese and potatoes – all good!
A little decadent but so good with grilled meats!
