Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 cups Russet potatoes, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded Gruyere or Swiss cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Preparation Steps:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes until it becomes a light golden color.
- Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring continuously to avoid lumps.
- Continue cooking and stirring until the mixture thickens, usually 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and add the shredded cheddar and Gruyere or Swiss cheese. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Season the cheese sauce with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste. Adjust the seasonings as needed.
- Place a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour a portion of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, ensuring they are well-coated.
- Repeat the layering process until you’ve used all the potatoes and cheese sauce, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45-50 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
- Allow the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes to cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
