This recipe is amazing, it is very creamy and I serve it everytime I make scallopped potatoes:
Elegant Scalloped Potatoes
8 large baking potatoes
6 tablespoons butter or margarine
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 to 2 teaspoons garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
3-1/2 cups milk
12 ounces process cheese (Velveeta), cubed
1/3 cup crumbled cooked bacon
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup sliced green onions
Scrub and pierce potatoes; place on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 15-20 minutes or until tender. Cool slightly.
In a saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in flour, garlic powder, salt and pepper until smooth; gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Add the process cheese and bacon; stir until cheese is melted. Remove from heat; set aside.
Cut the potatoes into 1/4-in. slices. Place a third of the slices in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish; top with a third of the cheese sauce. Repeat layers twice. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese and onions. Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted.
Yield: 10-12 servings

Creamy Scalloped Potatoes
For four to six servings you'll need:
* 4 large baking potatoes, peeled
* 2 Tbsp finely chopped shallots or onions
* 1/2 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
* 1 tsp salt
* freshly ground pepper
* 1 c milk
* 1 c whipping cream
* 1 c grated Gruyère cheese
Preparation:
* Thinly slice potatoes (about the thickness of a nickel if you can manage it!).
* In large bowl combine potato slices, shallots, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste.
* In a medium pot over medium-high heat bring cream to boil.
* Add shallots, nutmeg, salt and pepper, stir.
* Add potatoes, reduce to low (keep uncovered) and cook for 35 minutes until sauce is thickened.
* Transfer potato mixture to buttered baking dish.
* Top with grated cheese, lightly sprinkle nutmeg, salt and pepper on top.
* Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until top is crisp and golden.
Tips:
* Do not wash the sliced potatoes — the starch in them will help to thicken the sauce. Cook slowly to avoid burning. If liquid is absorbed before they're fully cooked, add a little milk.
Good served with:
* Baked lamb/chicken.
