Mom’s Creamy Scalloped Potatoes
My mom's creamy scalloped potatoes are the perfect comforting side dish for a family dinner — everyone will be back for seconds! Made with 5 main ingredients and baked to perfection in 1 hour.
Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 5-6 cups thinly sliced potatoes (sliced to around 1/8-1/4 inch thickness)
- 2 cups thin sliced onions
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1/3 cup flour
- 3 teaspoons Kosher salt
- 3/4 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Romano cheese (optional)
Directions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9" x 13" baking pan with cooking spray. Spread a layer of potatoes along the bottom of the pan to cover it (they can and will overlap a bit).
- 2
Sprinkle half of the onions, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper onto the potatoes.
- 3
Spread a layer of potatoes onto this.
- 4
Sprinkle half of the onions, 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper on top.
- 5
Layer the remaining potatoes on top and sprinkle with the remaining salt and pepper.
- 6
Whisk together the flour and milk and pour it over the layers of potatoes. It should almost but not completely cover them and you can add a little more milk if needed.
- 7
If using Romano cheese sprinkle it on top of the potato mixture.

Bake for 1 hour until golden brown and crispy on top (if not using the Romano cheese, these won't get as brown). Cool for 10 minutes and serve immediately.
