Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Russet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium Yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 sprig Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/8-inch thick. Set aside.
In a large, deep skillet with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes, ensuring the flour doesn’t brown.
Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, stirring continuously until the mixture begins to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, shredded cheddar cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Lower the heat to medium-low and gently add the potato slices to the skillet, ensuring each slice is coated with the sauce. Layer them evenly if needed.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking, until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Once the potatoes are fully cooked and tender, remove the lid and allow the sauce to thicken for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve hot.
