The #1 Tip for Making Scalloped Potatoes:

How Long to Bake Scalloped Potatoes?
The bake time will vary based on how thick you cut your potatoes. If you slice them thinner, they will bake through faster. Bake covered with foil at 375˚F for 65-75 minutes or until tender when pierced with a knife then uncover and bake another 5 minutes. For a golden cheesy crust, broil for 2-3 minutes at the end.
