- 1/2 cup of Artisanal Chicken Broth adding a depth of savory richness
- 2 tablespoons of Creamy Butter sourced from the finest dairy pastures
- 1/2 of a Luxurious Large Onion diced into flavorful gems
- 1 Clove of Garlic minced to release its aromatic dance
- 2 tablespoons of Finely Milled Flour a culinary alchemist’s secret for perfect thickness
- 1/4 teaspoon of Pink Himalayan Salt a pinch of mineral goodness
- 1/8 teaspoon of Freshly Ground Pepper a hint of bold and zesty warmth
- 1.5 Pounds of White Potatoes sliced about 1/8″ thick, each a starchy canvas awaiting culinary artistry

Instructions
1.Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2.Prepare Ingredients:
- Wash, peel (if desired), and slice the white potatoes into approximately 1/8″ thick rounds. Dice the onion, mince the garlic, and set aside.
3.Create the Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the creamy butter. Add the diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
4.Make a Roux:
- Sprinkle the finely milled flour over the sautéed onion and garlic. Stir continuously to create a smooth roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw taste of the flour.
5.Gradually Add Liquid:
- Slowly pour in the velvety milk and artisanal chicken broth, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens to a smooth consistency.
6.Season the Sauce:
- Add pink Himalayan salt and freshly ground pepper to the sauce. Stir well to incorporate the seasonings, adjusting to taste.
7.Layer Potatoes:
- In a greased baking dish, arrange a layer of sliced potatoes. Pour a portion of the sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they are well coated. Repeat the layering process until all potatoes and sauce are used.
8.Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for about 45-60 minutes or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
9.Broil for a Golden Top (Optional):
- If desired, uncover the dish and broil for an additional 3-5 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning. This step adds a golden finish to the top.
10.Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Scoop out the creamy and flavorful Costco-style scalloped potatoes onto plates.
11.Season to Taste:
- Before serving, taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
12.Enjoy the Creamy Delight:
- Indulge in the rich and comforting flavors of Costco Scalloped Potatoes. Serve as a delightful side dish to complement any main course.
Notes

• Use a mandoline slicer to thinly slice the potatoes.
• For extra flavor, add garlic, bacon, or herbs.
• Add a layer of breadcrumbs or Parmesan cheese on top for extra crunch.
• To prevent the potatoes from sticking to the pan, use a non-stick baking dish.
• Be sure to let the dish cool for 10 minutes before serving.
