Scalloped potatoes are a creamy baked dish made with thinly sliced potatoes layered in a rich sauce perfect as a comforting side for any meal.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup salted butter

  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk

    Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
