Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped (optional)
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin, 1/8-inch rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 5

Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the sauce, stirring until it melts completely and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry. Layer half the sliced potatoes into the greased baking dish, overlapping slightly.

Step 7

Pour half of the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce, ensuring all potatoes are covered.

Step 8

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheeses evenly over the top.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 11

Optional: Garnish with chopped green onions before serving for a fresh, zesty touch.

Step 12

Let the cheesy potatoes cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
