Have you ever found yourself craving delicious, cheesy scalloped potatoes, but been deterred by the long cooking time required? I certainly have. In the past, I had a slow cooker recipe that produced amazing results, but it took hours to cook. Even though I could plan ahead and start it in the morning, sometimes I would forget or my cravings would hit me later in the day.

Then, I discovered the Instant Pot and everything changed. With this amazing kitchen appliance, I can now make Creamy & Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes in a fraction of the time it used to take. And the best part is, they taste even better than the prepackaged ones!

Gone are the days of waiting hours for delicious, homemade scalloped potatoes. Now, with just a few simple ingredients and the magic of the Instant Pot, you can have a tasty side dish ready in no time. So why settle for instant potatoes when you can have something even better and faster?

Now, let’s get one thing straight about this recipe: it’s not health food. Scalloped potatoes aren’t supposed to be healthy, they’re supposed to be indulgent. And these are the real deal, all right: thin potato coins in a rich, delicately spiced sauce loaded with white cheddar, butter, and real cream.

No, you shouldn’t eat this every day. But if you’re going to treat yourself, you can also do well.

How thin should the potato slices be?

Ideally, no thicker than ¼ inch. If you have a mandolin slicer, (affiliate link) it’s the best tool to get them nice, thin and even.

Is there a way to make these potatoes without the chicken broth so that they are vegetarian?

Sure, it just substitutes for a good vegetable broth. Try Swanson’s Vegetable Broth or Imagine Organic.
