Ingredients

• 6 medium Russet potatoes
• 3 cups Broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 4 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 Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

Step 3

Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and blanch for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still bright green. Drain immediately and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

Step 5

Gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream while whisking to remove any lumps. Cook the mixture for 4-5 minutes until it thickens slightly and coats the back of a spoon.

Step 6

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Add 1.5 cups of cheddar cheese, a handful at a time, whisking until melted and smooth. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 7

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Layer half the potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Top with half of the broccoli florets and pour half of the cheese sauce over the layer.

Step 8

Repeat with the remaining potatoes, broccoli, and cheese sauce, ensuring everything is evenly layered.

Step 9

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese over the top of the dish.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Remove the foil and bake an additional 15-20 minutes, until the top is bubbling and golden brown.

Step 11

Allow the dish to rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan, if desired.
