Scale
- 4 large russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.

- Layer half the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour over half of the cheese sauce.
- Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
- Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Use a mandoline slicer for evenly thin potato slices.
- Can be made a day ahead and reheated.
- Add ham or bacon for a heartier dish.
