Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 cups Low-fat milk
• 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0 Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Lightly spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan, combine the low-fat milk and chicken or vegetable broth. Warm the mixture over medium heat until it is just about to boil, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Gradually add the flour mixture to the warm milk and broth, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Continue to cook over medium heat until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the minced garlic.

Step 9

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 10

Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the sliced onions.

Step 11

Pour half of the milk mixture over the potatoes and onions, spreading it evenly.

Step 12

Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and onions, then pour the rest of the milk mixture over the top.

Step 13

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 14

Remove the foil, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top, and bake uncovered for an additional 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.

Step 15

Remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a few minutes before serving, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly as it cools.
