Why are my scalloped potatoes crunchy?

[Bubbles]

Hi there!! Sharing my frustration after cooking a batch of scalloped potatoes last night. I was dismayed cause it came out so crunchy. Now, I'm wondering if this is normal, but I feel like there's something wrong. Actually, it is my first time to try this out. I dunno why it happened. I desperately need insights or tips. Your responses are greatly appreciated.

Oh no, I'm sorry to hear about your crunchy scalloped potatoes! It's common for them to have a crispy top, but if the entire batch turned out overly crunchy, it might be due to slicing the potatoes too thin or baking them at too high a temperature. Trying thicker slices and lowering the oven temperature could help achieve that creamy texture you're looking for. Don't give up—your next batch will be perfect!

Maybe you didn't cover them while baking? I think a layer of foil or a lid might trap moisture and prevent excessive crunchiness.

I think slicing the potatoes too thinly or unevenly can lead to some pieces cooking faster and becoming crunchy.
