★Ingredients
6 large potatoes, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of your favorite cheeses)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Paprika, for garnish
★Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare Cheese Sauce:
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic, cooking until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
Gradually whisk in the milk and cream, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Add 1 cup of shredded cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble:
In a greased baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of shredded cheese on top.
- Bake:
Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle with a little paprika for color, if desired.
Let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
