Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 0.5 cups Caesar dressing
• 1 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 as needed Olive oil or nonstick spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or nonstick spray and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes, then slice them into thin, even slices about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform thickness if desired.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden and bubbling.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, ensuring the mixture stays smooth. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the Caesar dressing, grated Parmesan cheese, kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix until the sauce is smooth and the cheese has melted.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Arrange one-third of the sliced potatoes in an overlapping layer on top of the sauce.

Step 7

Pour one-third of the sauce over the potato layer, spreading it evenly. Repeat the layering process two more times, finishing with the remaining sauce on top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling.

Step 10

Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the top before serving. Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions.
