Ingredients

Units Scale

Potatoes:

  • 2 pounds russet potatoes (peeled and thinly sliced)

Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Additional:

  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. Make the sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until bubbling and lightly golden. Slowly whisk in the milk and cream, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens, about 5–7 minutes. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, and stir to combine. Remove from heat.
  3. Layer the potatoes: Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes and spread evenly. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce. If using cheese, sprinkle it over the top.
  4. Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
  5. Rest and garnish: Let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Yukon gold potatoes can also be used for a creamier texture.
  • You can add cooked ham or bacon for a heartier version.
