Easter is coming, and the main dish cannot have all the fun. These scalloped potatoes are creamy, cheesy, rich, and packed with smoke-roasted garlic, chives, thyme, and melty Gruyère. They’re the kind of side dish that holds its own next to ham, greens, hot cross buns, and every other family favorite on the table. I love this recipe because it feels holiday-special without being fussy. Just thin sliced potatoes, a deeply savory cheese sauce, and that gorgeous golden cheesy finish on top. And let’s be honest… scalloped potatoes are always the dish people say they’re taking “just a little bit” of, then magically come back for seconds. As they should.
