Scalloped potatoes are a classic comfort food.
They are easy to make, impressive to look at, and delicious as a side to any dinner!
These Parmesan and White Cheddar Scalloped Potatoes are the perfect addition to your weeknight dinner/family get together/just about any meal!
I’m a sucker for anything potato related (just see the tons of potato recipes on my site.) Add two cheeses, fresh garlic and onion? Well that’s pretty much heaven for me!
Fresh herbs really add the extra flavor that this dish has, in this recipe I used both fresh thyme and parsley.
I cooked mine at a higher temperature towards the end to add that extra crispy brown on top!
These are surprisingly filling and the hubby and I just paired them with veggies for an easy vegetarian dinner!

Used leeks instead of onions and Gruyere instead of cheddar. My husband does not even like scalloped potatoes and he loved them! Thank you so much for sharing.

Yum I'm making these right now :) I didn't see a temerature so I'm assuming 375°? initially then 425 at the end?

Yep, bake at 375 then crank up at the end if you want a little extra crisp. Hope you enjoy them!
