Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 medium Celery stalks
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1.5 cups Cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of butter or olive oil.
Peel the russet potatoes and cut them into thin round slices, about 1/4-inch thick. Place the slices into a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Trim and finely dice the celery stalks, setting them aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture forms a smooth paste.
Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook the sauce, stirring constantly, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Remove the sauce from heat once the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Arrange half of the potato slices evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Sprinkle half of the diced celery over the potatoes, then pour half of the cheese sauce evenly over the layer. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, celery, and cheese sauce.
In a small bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, remaining 0.5 cups of cheddar cheese, and olive oil. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the dish.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are fork-tender.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added freshness and flavor.
