Ingredients
- 6 medium Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 3 cups Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
Peel the russet potatoes and slice them thinly into 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to create a roux.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure there are no lumps. Continue stirring until the mixture thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Stir in the garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and 1.5 cups of the shredded cheddar cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour one-third of the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes. Repeat this process for two more layers, ending with a layer of cheese sauce on top.
Step 7
Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of cheddar cheese and the Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer. Lightly dust with paprika for added color and flavor.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
Step 9
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
