Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer for even slices. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning while preparing the sauce.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, ensuring there are no lumps.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth. Continue cooking for 4-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese until fully melted and incorporated.

Step 6

Drain the sliced potatoes and pat them dry. Layer half of the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce, ensuring all potatoes are coated. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Let the scalloped potatoes cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Enjoy!
