Makes the best cheese sauce

Imagine sinking your teeth into these soft, creamy, cheesy garlic scalloped potatoes. Yum, yum! These scalloped potatoes are loaded with creamy, tender potatoes, 3 different cheeses and a cheese sauce to die for. Basically, peel and thinly slice the potatoes. In a large frying pan, melt butter and add onions and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, sprinkle with flour and cook for a few minutes longer. Next, pour broth, along with the seasoning, salt and pepper, and heavy cream into onion mixture. Stir until thickened then remove from heat just prior to boiling. Lastly, stir in 2 cups of cheddar cheese. And that’s the cheese sauce.

Then, start out by adding 1/3 of the potato slices to the bottom of the baking dish, followed by 1/3 of the sour cream, 1/3 of the cheese sauce and then 1/3 of the Parmesan, pepper jack and cheddar cheese. Once the first layer is complete, repeat two more times ending with cheddar cheese. Cover with foil, pop in the oven and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. About 15 minutes before removing from oven, remove the foil and crisp up the cheese a bit. That’s it! Time to enjoy these tasty cheesy garlic scalloped potatoes.
