Ingredients

• 6 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
• 1 for greasing dish Cooking spray or butter

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Use a mandoline slicer for uniform slices, if available.

Step 3

Peel and thinly slice the onion into rings.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk and stock, whisking constantly to create a smooth, creamy sauce. Cook for 4-5 minutes until thickened.

Step 6

Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the cheese sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 8

Layer one-third of the potato slices in an overlapping pattern. Top with one-third of the sliced onion rings.

Step 9

Pour one-third of the cheese sauce evenly over the layer. Repeat this process two more times with the remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese evenly over the top layer.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.

Step 13

Let the hotpot cool for 5-7 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley and enjoy!
