Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1.5 cups, shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer, and set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
In a large, deep skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
Slowly add the milk and chicken broth to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to season the creamy sauce.
Drain the potato slices and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel. Add them to the skillet, ensuring they’re evenly coated in the sauce.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring gently every 5 minutes to prevent sticking. The potatoes should be tender but not falling apart.
Once the potatoes are tender, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Cover the skillet again and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted.
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (if using) on top.
Let the dish rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy your stovetop scalloped potatoes!
