While I love traditional carrot cake, especially at Easter, there’s something wonderfully fun and playful about enjoying these treats as individual dessert bars. It also invites a little creative freedom for you to easily customize the batter to suit your taste. For instance, I’ve left out chopped nuts and raisins, but both are simple additions if you prefer them.

This dish is incredibly versatile, working as a standout potluck side or an elegant addition to holiday mains. Slicing the starchy potatoes and sweet onions thinly ensures a fork-tender texture that’s suspended in a creamy sauce, thickening as the dish rests before serving. 

The melted cheese topping, while a slight deviation from the classic version of scalloped potatoes, adds another level of flavor and irresistibility that you won’t want to skip!
