Ingredients

• 6 medium russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent oxidation.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir well to create a roux. Cook for 1 minute, then slowly whisk in the milk until smooth.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a simmer and allow it to thicken, stirring constantly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the sour cream, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 8

Drain the potatoes and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 9

Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared casserole dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Add the remaining potato slices in a second layer and top with the remaining cheese sauce.

Step 11

Sprinkle the top with the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese.

Step 12

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

Step 13

Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20 minutes until the top is golden and bubbling, and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 14

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Step 15

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve warm.
