Out-of- This-World Scalloped Potatoes
By Addie
A wonderful side dish to serve along with your baked ham or roast beef or any meat you like.
- 30 mins
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk
- 1 (10-ounce) block Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1 1/2 cups soft breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Preparation
Step 1
Melt 1/4 cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until flour is lightly browned. Whisk milk into butter mixture and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 6 minutes or until thickened. Stir in cheddar cheese and next 3 ingredients, stirring until cheese melts.
Spread a 1/4 cup of cheese sauce evenly into a lightly greased 13"x9" baking dish. Layer half the potatoes over the sauce. Top with half the remaining sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
Bake at 325 degrees Fahrenheit, covered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Stir together bread crumbs, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese. Remove potatoes from oven and spread the bread crumb mixture evenly over the potatoes. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 30 minutes more, or until potatoes are tender.

WOW! This was a great recipe. I was looking for something that was the old fashion way and this was the best I came across. My family loved it! Really makes alot, leftovers did not last long at all! Thanks!
Loved them! The green onion and breadcrumb topping makes these potatoes delicious. I made them in and baked them for the first 1 1/2 in the morning before work, then finished them and did the last half hour at night when I got home. Thanks for another keeper!
I love scalloped potatoes this way! All that cheese is a great addition.
Basically just a gravy to put over potatoes, but not a very interesting taste. I didn't find flour, milk, and butter to be quite as good as, maybe, cream of mushroom soup....
