Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 large Onion
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Milk
• 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel and slice the potatoes into thin rounds about 1/4 inch thick. Place them in a large pot, cover with water, and boil for 8 minutes until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 3

While the potatoes cook, remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, core it, and slice it into thin strips. Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Step 4

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes until softened, then add the garlic and stir for an additional minute. Add the cabbage and cook until wilted, about 7-8 minutes. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and smoked paprika. Remove from heat.

Step 5

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until a smooth sauce forms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Stir in the cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, and mix until melted. Reserve the remaining Parmesan for topping.

Step 6

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared casserole dish, followed by half of the cabbage mixture. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the layer. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cabbage, and cheese sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Parmesan over the top, and bake, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
