Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1.5 cups, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.

Step 3

Slowly add the milk and chicken broth to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to season the creamy sauce.

Step 5

Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add them to the skillet, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the sauce.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. The potatoes should be tender but not falling apart.

Step 7

Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (if using) on top.

Step 9

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy your stovetop scalloped potatoes!
