Ingredients

• 4 large Yukon Gold potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Low sodium chicken broth
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese (low sodium, shredded)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with unsalted butter.

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and use a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife to slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Once melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until golden and pasty.

Step 4

Gradually add the low sodium chicken broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Then, slowly whisk in the whole milk. Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture is smooth and thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, and black pepper. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them.

Step 7

Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Sprinkle half of the shredded low sodium cheddar cheese over the sauce-covered potatoes.

Step 9

Repeat the layering with the remaining potato slices, sauce, and cheddar cheese.

Step 10

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

Step 11

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

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
