Ingredients

• 6 medium-sized Yukon Gold potatoes
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 6 ounces Cambazola cheese
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 teaspoons Fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them evenly into 1/8-inch thick rounds using a sharp knife or a mandoline for precision.

Step 3

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.

Step 4

Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. The mixture should turn a pale golden color.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently until it thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 6

Crumble the Cambazola cheese and stir it into the sauce until melted and smooth. Add the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper, and mix to combine. Remove the sauce from heat.

Step 7

Arrange one layer of potato slices in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour a portion of the Cambazola cheese sauce over the layer, spreading it evenly.

Step 8

Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes and sauce until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of sauce on top to fully cover the potatoes.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer for a golden crust.

Step 10

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 30-35 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is bubbly and lightly browned.

Step 11

Allow the scalloped potatoes to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh thyme leaves, if desired.
