Ingredients

Units Scale

Potatoes:

  • 4 cups peeled and diced russet potatoes (1/2-inch cubes)

Cheese Sauce:

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Boil the potatoes: Boil the diced potatoes in salted water for 6–8 minutes until just tender but not fully cooked. Drain and set aside.
  3. Make the cheese sauce: In a saucepan, melt butter, whisk in flour, then slowly add milk and cream. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until slightly thickened, then stir in cheddar and Parmesan cheeses until smooth.
  4. Combine potatoes and sauce: Fold parboiled potatoes into the cheese sauce, then pour into a greased baking dish.
  5. Add topping and bake: Combine breadcrumbs with melted butter, sprinkle over the top of the potatoes. Bake for 25–30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly. Let rest before serving.

Notes

  • For extra richness, add sour cream or chopped cooked bacon before baking.
  • Gruyère or Swiss cheese can be used for a deeper flavor.
