Tips for Perfect Scalloped Potatoes
A few little tips make a big difference.
Slice Potatoes Evenly
Uneven slices can leave some undercooked and some too soft.
Don’t Overcook
Check near the end of cooking time. Potatoes should be tender, not mushy.
Use Full-Fat Dairy
Whole milk and heavy cream give the richest texture.
Grease the Slow Cooker
This helps prevent sticking on the edges.
Let Them Rest
Resting thickens the sauce naturally.
