Ingredients:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme (or 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)
- Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Potatoes:
- Peel and thinly slice the potatoes using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Rinse the slices under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Make the Cheese Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the milk and heavy cream, ensuring there are no lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens.
Add Seasonings:
- Stir in the thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
Layer Potatoes and Cheese Sauce:
- In an EaZy MealZ Casserole dish (Bacon Pan), layer half of the sliced potatoes. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheese on top. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cheese sauce, and shredded cheese.
Bake:
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Then, uncover and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes are tender, and the top is golden brown.
Garnish and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot and enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness!
