Ingredients
3 pounds russet potatoes
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium white onion, diced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Peel and thinly slice the russet potatoes; place in cold water to prevent browning.
2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add diced onions and minced garlic; sauté until soft.
3. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in milk and cream.
4. Cook the sauce until it thickens. Stir in salt, pepper, 1/2 cup cheddar, and 1/4 cup parmesan.
5. Drain and pat dry the potatoes. Layer them in a greased baking dish and pour over the cream sauce. Repeat layers.
6. Top with remaining cheddar and parmesan. Cover with foil and bake at 375°F for 40 minutes.
7. Remove foil and bake an additional 20-25 minutes until golden and bubbling.
8. Let rest for 10-15 minutes. Garnish with parsley if using.
Notes
Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potatoes that cook through easily.
For extra flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg or a dash of cayenne to the cream sauce.
