Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and stir to combine.

Let the scalloped potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving.
Tips for this recipe
Make sure that your potatoes are thinly sliced and of similar thickness. This will ensure that they cook evenly and prevent some slices from being undercooked while others become mushy.
