Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients
2 lbs russet or Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced
2 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
Optional: Fresh thyme for garnish
Directions
Prep the potatoes: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Thinly slice potatoes into even rounds and set aside.
Make the cheese sauce: In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add flour, whisking constantly for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk and heavy cream, cooking until thickened.
Add the cheese: Remove from heat and stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth and creamy.
Layer the dish: Grease a baking dish and arrange a layer of potatoes at the bottom. Pour a portion of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with cheese sauce on top.
Bake to perfection: Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme and serve warm as the ultimate comfort side dish!
