Creamy cheesy scalloped potatoes made easily. This is the best scalloped potatoes recipe hands down!
I love scalloped potatoes. Like seriously, what’s there not to like? I have the best Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes recipe ever, and, of course, I will be sharing it with you all within this post. This recipe is semi homemade. We will be using fresh potatoes, of course, but we will cheat a little when it comes to making the cheese sauce.
Semi-Homemade Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes: The Perfect Side Dish!
Instead of making the sauce from scratch, we will be using canned cheddar cheese soup (Yup…just like my slow cooker mac and cheese recipe!). The cheese soup will be mixed with heavy cream, milk, butter, gruyere cheese, garlic, onions and spices. The outcome will be AMAZING!

When I cook scalloped potatoes I sllce the potatoes thin and layer them with butter pieces, onion, sharp and mild cheddar cheese, also s&p to taste.This is an old recipe my Mother gave to me. I have been cooking this for years! I’m definitely going to try yours. You’ve got me hungry now for some!! I always enjoy your recipes. I look forward t getting an email for I Heart Recipes. Take care Rosie. Wish I lived closer so I could meet my friend!
Hi Sandy! Your recipe sounds delicious as well!!
I haven’t met a potato that I didn’t like and scalloped potatoes are at the top of my list! I am going to cook these for Thanksgiving with my ham. I love getting you recipes. Can I double everything without a problem?
Hi JoAnn! Absolutely! As long as you have a big enough bake dish you’re good. A 9×13 should work for a double batch! XOXO
Hi Mrs. Rosie, I’m ready to try this dish. My plan is to put chicken and spinach AND layer it with the potatoes. Sound yummy in my head. Thank you
Thanks for coming buy Shanita!
Hi Rosie thank you
No Problem hun!
Hi Rosie
This recipe sounds delicious. I want to prepare this dish tomorrow, but what kind of cream should I use
Hi there! Heavy cream 🙂
Hello. I am assuming this recipe calls for 1 can of cheddar cheese soup and not ten lo
It says 10 oz, not 10 cans. LOL

Hi Rosie, how are ypu, enjoy looking at the cooking, how do you do peach cobbler, have you tried it yet

Should I cover with foil??? This sounds yummy going to try this…
No, bake uncovered 🙂
Hi! Is there another type of cheese that can be substituted for the Gruyere? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks.
I honestly think gruyere cheese works best in this recipe. Be sure to ask the people at your local deli where the cheese is.
Ok will do! Thanks!
this looks really good cant wait to try this. THANK YOU
