How to Make Easy Scalloped Potatoes with Boursin Cheese

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
Spray the inside of a 9×13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
Melt your butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
Whisk in the flour until smooth.
Slowly whisk in the cream and continue to whisk until smooth.
Heat for an additional minute or until the mixture begins to thicken.
Whisk in the Boursin cheese and the Parmesan cheese until smooth.
Meanwhile, slice the potatoes as thinly as possible, taking care to keep them uniform in size.
Layer the potatoes in the baking dish, overlapping as necessary.
Sprinkle the potatoes with salt and pepper.
Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
Layer the remaining potatoes over the cheese and then pour the remaining cheese sauce over the top of those potatoes.
Bake in the oven for 1 1/2 hours but check on them after 50 minutes. If the sauce begins to bubble and the potatoes brown but is still hard when pierced with a fork, cover the pan with foil and continue to bake. Thinner sliced potatoes may cook more quickly.

FAQS

Can you make these ahead of time?

You can prepare these scalloped potatoes and level them covered and unbaked in the fridge for up to a day in advance. Then simply allow the pan to sit on the counter and warm up as the oven preheats before baking as directed.

How long to cook scalloped potatoes

The length of time to cook these potatoes is usually between 40 minutes to 1 hour and 15 minutes and depends heavily upon how thick you sliced the potatoes. Thicker potatoes will take longer to cook than thinner sliced ones.

Do I have to peel potatoes for scalloped potatoes?

You can if you want to but you do not have to. This is totally up to your own preferences. Personally, I like my russet potatoes to be peeled and if I use a red potato or Yukon golden then I leave them unpeeled as the peel of those potatoes are much thinner and let noticeable once baked.
