Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Russet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2.5 cups Whole milk
- 2 cups Sharp cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
Peel the potatoes and slice them into 1/8-inch-thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer. Set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, to form a roux.
Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.
Layer half of the potato slices evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, spreading it out with a spatula. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, remove the foil and return the dish to the oven. Bake uncovered for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is bubbly and golden brown.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cheezy Potatoes!
