I wish I could figure out how to make it savory enough, bad scalloped potatoes are undercooked, watery, and flavorless, and I desire to avoid this

How are you doing them? I can try and help figure it out.

I haven’t done enough for a recipe, but so far, slicing potato thinly and layering with milk cheese and seasoning hasn’t produced the exact result as restaurants, for example

So without knowing more I could only give general advice, but the serious eats article has a lot of useful stuff that might help you narrow it down.

My version uses nutritional yeast and cashews for the sauce, but a small bit of cinnamon with the paprika really helps.

Of course I should have checked with kenji

Has a guide for damn near everything

this is a pretty good start, but add in shredded cheddar and finely chopped broccoli. works with russet or yukon potatoes
