    What Makes These Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes So Good?

    Let’s break down why this dish is a must-make:

    1. Yukon Gold Potatoes = The Best Choice

    You could use another type of potato, but Yukon Gold potatoes bring a naturally buttery texture that holds up beautifully in the creamy sauce. Their thin slices become melt-in-your-mouth tender while keeping their shape.

    2. A Dreamy, Creamy Sauce

    A good scalloped potato recipe lives and dies by its cream sauce. This one starts with regular butter, sautéed onions, and garlic. Then, a mix of whole milk, vegetable broth, and gluten-free flour creates a silky-smooth, flavorful white sauce that soaks into every layer of potato slices.

    3. The Ultimate Cheese Combo

    The cheesy goodness in this dish is off the charts! Gruyère cheese melts beautifully, giving these potatoes an irresistibly creamy, slightly nutty flavor. Parmesan cheese adds sharpness and depth, creating the perfect balance.

    4. Layered to Perfection

    To achieve even layers, start with half of the sliced potatoes, then pour on half of the creamy cheese sauce. Add some of that delicious potatoes magic (aka cheese), then repeat with the remaining cheese and potatoes before baking until bubbly.

    5. A Dish That Steals the Show

    Not only is this dish gluten-free, but it’s also so rich and flavorful that no one will ever guess it’s made without traditional flour. The combination of creamy sauce, melty cheese, and perfectly tender potatoes creates an experience that’s nothing short of culinary perfection.

    How to Make the Best Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes

    Ingredients You’ll Need

    • Yukon Gold potatoes – For their creamy texture and buttery taste.
    • Regular butter – For richness and depth of flavor.
    • Onion & garlic – The essential aromatics that add bold, savory notes.
    • Gluten-free flour – Helps thicken the sauce while keeping it gluten-free.
    • Vegetable broth – Enhances flavor and makes the sauce extra luscious.
    • Whole milk – The base of the creamy, dreamy sauce.
    • Gruyère cheese & Parmesan cheese – The ultimate duo for a cheesy potatoes masterpiece.
    • Fresh herbs – A sprinkle of fresh thyme adds the perfect finishing touch.
    • Black pepper & salt – Because seasoning is everything!

    Step-by-Step Instructions

    1. Let It Rest & Serve – Sprinkle with fresh thyme, let it sit for a few minutes, and serve warm!
    2. Prepare the Baking Dish – Grease a casserole dish to prevent sticking.
    3. Make the Sauce – Over medium-high heat, sauté onions and garlic in butter, stir in gluten-free flour, then gradually add vegetable broth and milk, whisking until smooth.
    4. Layer the Potatoes – Arrange half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer in the dish. Pour over half of the sauce, then add half of the gruyere cheese mix.
    5. Repeat the Layers – Add the remaining potatoes, remaining cheese, and the rest of the milk mixture to the layers of potatoes.
    6. Bake Covered First – Cover with aluminum foil and bake until golden brown and bubbly.
    7. Uncover & Bake Again – Remove the foil and continue baking until the top is beautifully browned.

    Tips for the Best Gluten Free Scalloped Potatoes

    • Slice the potatoes evenly – Using a mandoline slicer ensures thin slices that cook at the same rate.
    • Don’t skimp on cheese – The cheesy goodness is what makes this dish irresistible!
    • Let it rest before serving – This helps the sauce thicken up, so each bite is perfectly creamy.
    • Use fresh ingredients – High-quality cheese and fresh herbs make a noticeable difference.
    • Add a crispy topping – Sprinkle some gluten-free breadcrumbs on top for extra crunch!

    • Category: Side dish
    • Method: Baked
    • Cuisine: Holiday

    Ingredients

    Scale

    3 tablespoons butter

    1 cup minced white or yellow onion

    4 large garlic cloves, minced

    ¼ cup gluten free all-purpose flour

    1 cup boiling water with 2 vegetable bouillion cubes dissolved into it

    2 cups 2% milk

    1 ½ teaspoons coarse kosher salt

    ½ teaspoon black pepper

    2 teaspoons fresh thyme leaves, divided

    4 pounds Yukon Gold Potatoes, sliced into ⅛-inch rounds

    3 cups freshly-grated Gruyère , divided

    ½ cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

    Instructions

    Preheat oven to 400°F.  Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray; set aside.

    Melt the butter in a large sauté pan over medium-high heat.  Add the onion, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft and translucent.  Add the garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.  Stir in the gluten free flour until it is evenly combined, and cook for 1 more minute.  Gradually pour in the vegetable stock, and whisk until combined.  Add in the milk, salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon thyme, then whisk until combined.  Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until the sauce just barely begins to simmer around the edges of the pan and thickens.  Then remove from heat and set aside.

    Spread half of the sliced potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the pan.  Top evenly with half of the cream sauce. Then sprinkle evenly with 1 ½ cups of the shredded  Gruyère, all of the Parmesan cheese.  Top evenly with the remaining sliced potatoes, the other half of the cream sauce, and the remaining 1 ½ cups of  Gruyère cheese.

    Cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.  The sauce should be nice and bubbly around the edges.  Then remove the foil and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.

    Transfer the pan to a cooling rack, and sprinkle with the remaining teaspoon of thyme, flaky sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper  Serve warm.
