Make these easy scalloped potatoes in the Ninja Foodi in just under 25 minutes. These are also easy to make gluten-free too!
One of my favorite recipes to make for the holidays are these gluten-free scalloped potatoes. As I’ve fallen more in love with my Ninja Foodi, I knew I had to try these in the Ninja Foodi.
This scalloped potatoes recipe is a classic that was passed on from my grandma and out of one of her old cookbooks from the 1950s, the only change I made was the swap of flour.
If you are making these gluten-free, use gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Are these Scalloped Potatoes or Potatoes au Gratin?
The big difference in the two is the cheese, so technically these could be called Potatoes au Gratin because I do top them with cheese as well. Most people though will know them as scalloped potatoes.
Tips for Making Scalloped Potatoes in the Ninja Foodi:
- Potatoes should be peeled and sliced about 1/8 inch thick.
- These work well with any potatoes but yellow or gold potatoes have a great flavor and russet work well too.
- Use the Ninja Foodi All-Purpose Pan for this recipe, it’s a perfect size.
- The sauce can be made in the pot of the Ninja Foodi on the saute function or on the stove, it’s your preference.
- Let the dish sit for about 5-10 minutes to fully cool and thicken up.
- These will be made in the Ninja Foodi utilizing both the attached lid and the pressure cooker lid.
What functions of the Ninja Foodi do you use for potatoes?
To make Scalloped Potatoes in the Ninja Foodi, first, you will be using the pressure cooker function. The first step is to cook the potatoes with the pressure cooker function and lid.
The nozzle will be sealed and these will be fully cooked with the pressure cooker function. Once the potatoes are done, the next step is to make the sauce to go over the potatoes.
This can be done in the pot of the Foodi or right on the stove. I actually prefer the stove, but you can do it in the Foodi and simply pour it over the dish when it’s cooked.
Finally, you will build the potato dish in the multi-purpose pan and place the pan on the wire rack in the low position. This will be cooked using the attached lid of the Ninja Foodi on broil.
The broil function will fully cook the scalloped potatoes and get the cheese nice and crisp.
What should you serve with Scalloped Potatoes?
Scalloped Potatoes pair perfectly with Ninja Foodi Turkey Breast that is made with the air crisp function. We like to use this as a side dish for holiday dinners. It’s a great filling side dish and it feeds about 6 or more as a side dish too.
This is also wonderful paired with ham cooked in the oven too.
Now it’s time to make these Scalloped Potatoes in the Ninja Foodi!

This isn’t scalloped potatoes, it’s au grautin… Trying to find an actual scalloped recipe with cream sauce, not cheese.
I made this recipe for our evening meal. It turned out like potato soup! Don’t get me wrong, it was delicious, but for some reason I couldn’t get the sauce to thicken in the Foodi. How can I correct this problem, as I want to make them again. I’m new to the Foodi and still learning. Hope you are able to help me
Hi! I’m sorry these didn’t turn out for you, they thicken up while cooling, did you use the flour as well and 8 potatoes? If so, I would cut the milk down by 1/2 a cup if they turned out too soupy for you. Ours are pretty thick after cooling for about 10 minutes.
Thank you! I will try that the next time I make them!
This recipe has promise. I shredded my onion and instead of putting it straight on top of the potatoes, I added it to the butter to cook a little (I added an extra tablespoon of butter). This was a good idea for me because I hate raw onions. This recipe came out okay but next time, I would layer the cheese into the potatoes as it seemed to be a blanket of cheese on top and was hard to dish out.
No potato soup for me, it worked perfectly! Loved this. Wondering if I can reheat it in the Foodi as well like in a casserole dish the way I originally made it. But I LOVED this recipe!
Yay, glad to hear it! I believe you could reheat it that way as well.
Made these tonight, absolutely delicious!!
Ive been making many of your recipes and thank you for explaining each step for the Ninja, Im new to it and really appreciate it.
