- .5 tsp.5 tsp.5 tsp Black Pepper, ground
- .5 tsp.5 tsp.5 tsp Paprika
- 1 cup1 cup1 cup Mild Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 cup1 cup1 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
Process
- Preheat the oven to 375˚ and grease a 9x13" baking pan or 3-quart casserole dish with butter or baking spray.
- Melt the butter in a large skillet or pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Sprinkle the flour over the butter and whisk while cooking for 1 minute.
- Slowly pour in the half and half and whole milk, while whisking, until it is completely incorporated with the flour mixture.
- Continue to cook for 3-5 minutes, while whisking occasionally, until the sauce starts to thicken.
- Remove the sauce from the heat and whisk in the salt, pepper, and paprika.
- Using a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife, slice all of the potatoes into approximately 1/8-inch thick rounds.
- Place the sliced potatoes in small stacks on their sides, in alternating directions, in the prepared baking dish.
- Sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the sliced potatoes and then pour the prepared cream sauce over the potatoes and cheese.
- Using a spoon, gently spread the sauce over the potatoes, so it covers it completely and starts to seep down into the crevices. Sprinkle the top of the sauce with the parmesan cheese.
- Bake the potatoes in the preheated oven for 60-65 minutes until potatoes are fork-tender and browned on top. Let the potatoes sit for 15 minutes before
Notes
Potatoes - Yukon gold potatoes are best for these au gratin potatoes because of their soft, creamy texture. Red potatoes or russet potatoes can be used, but cooking times may be a bit longer and the texture will not be as creamy. Cheese - Both cheddar and parmesan cheeses are used to layer and top these potatoes. Alternatives that could be used include, gruyere, pepper jack, or smoked gouda. Onions - Slice a small white onion thinly and layer it with the sliced potatoes and the cheddar cheese. Meat - Layer the potatoes with cooked chopped ham or bacon for an extra savory and smoky flavor. Spicy - Dice up a jalapeno or two and layer it with the potatoes for an extra zesty au gratin potato dish.
