🥘 Ingredients

16 items

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 2 medium Carrots
• 1 medium Zucchini
• 1 cup Broccoli florets
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Whole milk
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

📝 Instructions

11 steps

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a small amount of olive oil or butter.

2. Peel the potatoes and thinly slice them into 1/8-inch thick rounds. Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent discoloration.

3. Peel and thinly slice the carrots. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds. Chop the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Set all vegetables aside.

4. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a smooth roux.

5. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, continuing to stir until the mixture thickens, about 4-5 minutes.

6. Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, 1 1/2 cups of cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Remove from heat.

7. Drain and pat the potato slices dry. Begin layering the baking dish with one-third of the potato slices, followed by one-third of the vegetables, and then one-third of the cheese sauce. Repeat this process for two more layers, ending with cheese sauce on top.

8. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese on top of the final layer.

9. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes.

10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbling, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

11. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
