Can I use a different cheese?

Yes. Swiss, Fontina, or Jarlsberg work well, though the flavor will be slightly different from the traditional Gruyere profile.

Can I make this ahead?

You can caramelize the onions up to 2 days ahead. You can also fully bake the casserole, refrigerate it, and reheat before serving. Avoid assembling unbaked potatoes ahead of time because they will brown.

Can I freeze scalloped potatoes?

Freezing is not recommended. The texture of cooked potatoes becomes grainy after freezing.

Do Yukon gold potatoes really make a difference?

Yes. Yukon golds hold their texture better than russets, cook to a golden yellow, and have a natural buttery flavor that complements the caramelized onions and Gruyere.
