Ingredients

For the sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 cups milk
For the potatoes
- 6 cups sliced potatoes (about 2½ lbs)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or margarine

Instructions

Prepare the Sauce: In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and salt, then gradually whisk in the milk. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens and comes to a boil.

🔥 Tip: Stir constantly to prevent lumps from forming. This step is crucial for achieving that smooth, creamy sauce we all love!
Combine with Potatoes: Add the sliced potatoes to the saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce comes to a boil again.
Bake: Pour the potatoes and sauce into a greased shallow casserole dish (6½ x 10 x 1-3/4 inches). Drizzle the melted butter over the top. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, and the creamy sauce is bubbling.

🔔 Note: For an enhanced flavor, try sprinkling some paprika or grated cheese on top before baking!

Serving Suggestions

Serve these escalloped potatoes alongside roasted chicken, grilled steak, or glazed ham for a delightful meal.
They pair beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad for a well-rounded dinner.

Variations

Herb-Infused: Add a teaspoon of dried thyme or rosemary to the sauce for an aromatic twist.
Cheesy Goodness: Mix in a cup of shredded cheese to the sauce before adding the potatoes for a cheesy version that the kids will love! 🧀
Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce for a bit of heat!
