Comforting layers of thinly sliced Yukon Gold potatoes enveloped in a rich, cheesy sauce, perfect for cozy gatherings.
Ingredients
- 4 medium Yukon Gold Potatoes (peeled if desired)
- 2 cups Mozzarella Cheese (substitute with provolone if desired)
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese (or Gruyere for nuttiness)
- 1 cup Cream (or half-and-half for a lighter option)
- 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy milk for a vegan option)
- 4 Tbsp Butter (or olive oil for non-dairy)
- 1/4 cup Flour (gluten-free flour works here)
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup Parsley or Dill (freshly chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Wash and thinly slice the Yukon Gold potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife.
- In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour to create a roux and cook for one minute.
- Gradually whisk in the cream and milk, continuously stirring until smooth and thickened.
- Mix in the cheeses, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until melted and combined.
- Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
- Let it rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs.
