DAD’S CREAMY & CHEESY AU GRATIN POTATOES

Ingredients

6-7 medium Yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced into 1/8” rounds (3 lbs gold potatoes – by weight is a more accurate measure)

½ white or yellow onion, cut into slices

Sauce:

2 tbsp salted butter

¼ c. all-purpose flour (whole wheat, all-purpose, or gluten-free 1:1 flour will all work)

1 1/2 c. unsweetened almond milk (regular, skim or whole milk will also work)

8 oz. sharp cheddar cheese (2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese)

½ tsp garlic powder

¾ tsp salt, plus more to taste

Freshly ground black pepper

Topping:

1/2 c. Gruyere cheese (or sub more sharp cheddar)

¼ c. grated parmesan

Garnish:

Fresh chopped parsley

How to make Dad’s Creamy & Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees F.

Step 2: Using nonstick cooking spray, butter, or oil, grease a 2-quart square baking dish (you can also use 8 x 12-inch).

Step 3: In three tight slanted rows, place the sliced potatoes to the prepared dish, making sure the slices have enough space so they are slightly slanted.

Step 4: To make the sauce, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Whisk in a little flour once the butter has melted and gradually add in the milk, a little at a time and alternately with the flour. Whisk all the way through until there are no lumps. Simmer until you have a creamy gravy consistency.

Step 5: Adjust the heat to low. Stir the shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper into the mixture. Add in more salt and pepper as needed.

Step 6: Over the potatoes and onions, evenly pour the sauce. Using foil, cover the dish and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.

Step 7: Remove the foil, then sprinkle half cup of shredded gruyere or extra cheddar and 1/4 cup Parmesan on top. Bake for another 30 to 45 minutes or until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork.

Step 8: Before serving, garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!
