Ingredients

• 2.5 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or oil.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 4

Sprinkle the gluten-free flour over the butter and garlic, whisking constantly for about 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps and the mixture is smooth.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens, approximately 5 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and add the cheddar and Parmesan cheeses, stirring until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and nutmeg, mixing well.

Step 9

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry. Arrange half of the slices in an even layer in the prepared baking dish.

Step 10

Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potato layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 11

Repeat layering with the remaining potato slices and top with the rest of the cheese sauce.

Step 12

Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top for additional flavor.

Step 13

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

Step 14

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Step 15

Allow the scalloped potatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving, allowing the sauce to set slightly.
