Paula Deen Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Paula Deen's scalloped potatoes is a delicious dish that offers a comforting and creamy taste.
She has tender potato slices mingled with rich cheeses, which makes it a side that really stands out with any meal.
When I make this, I always preheat the oven to 300°F and cook the onions in butter until soft for extra flavor.
Another key trick is to be generous with the cheese layers because they form a wonderfully crispy top during baking.
