1.5 cups of milk

2 tablespoons of melted butter
05 -
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
06 -
1 teaspoon onion powder
07 -
2 tablespoons of plain flour
08 -
1 cup cream
09 -
Black pepper, adjust to taste
10 -
1 cup of mozzarella cheese
11 -
Parsley or fresh dill to sprinkle on top
12 -
1 kg potatoes cut into thin slices
# Steps:
01 -
Heat up the oven to 375°F (190°C), then grease your baking dish with butter.
02 -
Peel off the skin and slice those potatoes into thin pieces. Arrange them evenly in the buttered baking dish.
03 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and mix in the flour. Keep stirring until smooth. Slowly pour in the cream and milk, little by little, while whisking to keep it lump-free. Toss in onion powder, garlic powder, some salt, and a pinch of pepper. Let it boil, reduce the heat, and keep stirring as it thickens.
04 -
Push the cheddar and mozzarella into the sauce. Keep stirring until it's all melted and creamy.
05 -
Pour half of the cheese mixture over the layered potatoes. Cover everything with foil, then put it into the oven for 30 minutes.
06 -
Take the foil off, pour the rest of the cheese sauce over the dish, and bake uncovered for another hour. Wait until the top is golden and the potatoes are soft.
07 -
Sprinkle parsley or dill on top just before serving. Best enjoyed warm or hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Slice your potatoes evenly and thin to cook them perfectly. You could also rinse them in cold water for 15 minutes to reduce extra starch and avoid sticking.
02 -
For a different twist, try swapping in cheeses like fontina or gruyere for a deeper flavor.
