Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large, deep skillet with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flour doesn’t brown.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Stir in the salt, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Lower the heat to medium-low and gently add the potato slices to the skillet, ensuring each slice is coated with the sauce. Layer them evenly if needed.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Once the potatoes are fully cooked and tender, remove the lid and allow the sauce to thicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve hot.
