Ingredients:
4 cups potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 4 medium potatoes)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cups milk
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
½ tsp paprika (for color)
Instructions:
Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.
Make the Creamy Cheese Sauce
In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute until slightly golden.
Gradually add milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
Stir in cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Remove from heat once melted and smooth.
Assemble the Layers
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish.
Pour half of the cheese sauce over them.
Repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce.
Bake Until Golden & Bubbly
Bake uncovered for 50-60 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
