Ingredients

• 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1.5 cups Sour cream
• 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 0.25 cups Chives, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Peel the Yukon Gold potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds, approximately 1/8-inch thick. This ensures even cooking.

Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the sliced potatoes. Parboil the potatoes for 5-6 minutes until they are slightly tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the milk, sour cream, garlic powder, remaining salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and fold in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and the chopped chives. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 6

Layer half of the parboiled potato slices evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese and sour cream mixture over the potatoes and spread evenly.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining potato slices and pour the remaining cheese mixture on top, spreading it evenly again.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 0.5 cup of shredded cheddar cheese over the top. For an optional crunch, sprinkle breadcrumbs evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.

Step 10

Let the potato bake rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra chopped chives if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
