Scalloped Potatoes

This comforting Yukon gold potato casserole layers tender, thinly sliced potatoes with a rich, creamy sauce made from butter, sautéed onions, garlic, and a touch of flour for thickness. The sauce is enriched with chicken broth, milk, and HVSS natural salt, which adds depth of flavor and enhances the savory notes. A blend of Mexican cheese and mozzarella brings a perfect, melty finish, while fresh thyme adds herbal brightness. HVSS Spicy salt sprinkled at the end provides a flavorful kick. Baked to golden perfection, this dish delivers a satisfying balance of creamy texture and rich, complex flavors.
