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.
