I modified this for the freezer, and my kids really enjoyed this side dish. It is a good thing to have in the freezer (especially for me, who is side-dish challenged). I think that I didn't cook the sauce long enough, though, as it wasn't very thick, but that was my fault, as I've never made scalloped potatoes from scratch before, and thought it would thicken more upon baking. To prepare this for the freezer, I cut 6 or 7 potatoes in half (skin on), covered with water in a large pot, and brought it to a boil I let it boil for 10 minutes, and then drained off the hot water. I left the potatoes in the pot and covered with cold water; then I placed them in the fridge until cool. I then sliced the potatoes and assembled as directed, adding a layer of cheese in the middle and on top. I covered, labeled, and then froze. To heat, thaw overnight in the fridge. Place the dish in the oven and turn it on to 375. Bake for 45 minutes, covered, or until heated through. Thanks for posting. I've been looking for a scalloped potato recipe to try for a while.

Oh my, the smells coming from oven last night, even 17 yo DS said it smelled good!!! I must admit I cheated and used refrigerated sliced potatoes, so much easier!!! It was probably only 3-4 cups of potatoes so I cut back a little on the sauce amounts but otherwise followed as written. I served it with corn on the cob and blueberry muffins and we cleared our plates. I loved the hint of thyme added to the recipe. Thanks WiGal for sharing a great recipe. Made for PRMR.

This is just terrific!! Very easy to make and so tasty. The thyme adds a wonderful flavor to this dish. I don't care for onions so used half of a green pepper, minced, instead. I served this as the main dish, with a green salad. The whole family (plus a couple of friends) just loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!
