SCALLOPED POTATO BUNDT
This potato side tastes even better than it looks, with perfectly cooked tender potatoes and a rich, garlicky parmesan cream sauce and tons of cheddar cheese. Scalloped Potato Bundt is extra cheesy and creamy, and truly a wow-worthy holiday dish that you’ll be making every chance you get!
There are lots of things to love about Scalloped Potato Bundt, from gorgeous show-stopping look to the tender buttery potatoes to the creamy sauce. But hands down, one of our favorite parts is the crispy potato crust from layering the thin potatoes around the entire pan. You want to grease the pan really well with butter so that outer layer gets panfried golden brown and crispy.
While there is a little bit extra work to layer the potatoes in the pan, the Scalloped Potato Bundt recipe is actually very easy. The cream sauce is made by whisking ingredients in a bowl, no need to cook beforehand. Soak your potatoes in the cream as you slice them to keep them from browning and to save on a water bath bowl.
Scalloped Potato Bundt is a beautiful and festive way to serve these extra cheesy potatoes but you aren’t limited to a bundt pan. You can make individual-sized Scalloped Potatoes in muffin tins, ramekins, or mini loaf pans. Bake in a large loaf pan if you don’t have a bundt pan, or make on a sheet pan for all crispy crust potatoes. We’ve included alternate baking times depending on the size of the pan in this post!

Could this be made in a 9×13 glass or baking pan and still come out crispy on top? It was good and tasty even though it didn’t get formed like a bundt when tipped over.
I didn’t see where the four tablespoons of unsalted butter was used. Sorry if I missed it. I have made many of your recipes, love them, and even shared them with others.
Thanks for catching that. I’ve tested this recipe a few times and decided to toss the potatoes with melted butter. I’ve edited the recipe to reflect that now. I hope you enjoy it.
I have not made this recipe but i sure am going to make it. I have a Bundt Pan that is all a ll coated but still going to use the Pam just incase. I will have to change the 400 Temp maybe to 350 or 375 degree b/c the Fire Alarm will go off at 400. May take longer but worth it. Great Recipe and love baking it in a Bundt Pan thanks for a Easy Recipe and clean up.
Enjoy, Martha!
This looks delicious! How is the butter incorporated? Is it melted into the cream sauce or layered onto the potatoes?
You’ll want to melt it and use it to toss the sliced potatoes. Enjoy!
