How to make Best Scalloped Potatoes
Step 1: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the flour. Allow this to sit for about 1 minute. Then, pour in the cold milk, stirring using a whisk. Sprinkle with salt and cayenne.
Step 2: Cook the sauce while stirring often using a whisk over low heat until smooth and boiling. Once boiling, decrease the heat and add the cheese. Stir well.
Step 3: In a lightly greased 1-quart casserole dish, place half of the sliced potatoes. On top, pour half of the cheese sauce. Do the same for the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce. Then, sprinkle the rest of the cheese, followed by paprika.
Step 4: Place in the oven and bake for about 1 hour at 350 degrees F, uncovered.
