Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 0.5 cups heavy cream
• 1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/8-inch thick. Use a mandoline slicer if available for uniformity.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Once the butter is melted, whisk in the all-purpose flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly, to remove the raw flavor of the flour.

Step 4

Gradually pour in the whole milk and heavy cream, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Let the mixture cook until it starts to thicken, about 3-5 minutes.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and add the sharp cheddar cheese and Parmesan cheese to the skillet. Stir until the cheeses have melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Gently layer the potato slices into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated with the cheese sauce. Use a spoon to carefully submerge and arrange them as needed.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and let the potatoes cook on low heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 9

Remove the lid and let the dish cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 10

Sprinkle the scalloped potatoes with fresh parsley before serving for added color and flavor.

Step 11

Serve hot as a comforting side dish or enjoy it on its own!
