Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized Potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 as needed for greasing Cooking spray
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and thinly slice them, about 1/8-inch thick. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Place the West Bend electric skillet on a flat surface and lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Set the skillet temperature to 350°F and add the butter. Once the butter is melted, stir in the flour to make a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to create a creamy sauce. Let it thicken for 3-4 minutes.
Add the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese into the sauce. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Turn off the heat.
Drain the potatoes and layer one-third of the slices evenly across the bottom of the skillet. Sprinkle with some chopped onions and pour one-third of the cheese sauce over the layer.
Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese sauce, ensuring each layer is evenly spread.
Sprinkle the top layer with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and paprika for added color and flavor.
Cover the skillet with the lid and reduce the temperature to 300°F. Cook for 40-50 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once cooked, allow the dish to cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes!
