Equipment
- 9x13 baking dish
Ingredients
- 3 pound Yukon potatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
- 3 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup water or chicken broth
- 2 cup whole milk
- 2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated (equals 8oz block grated)
- 2 tablespoon thyme
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, you'll need to slice each potato in 3.5 mm slices or 1/4 inch slices. These will be the options if you're using a vegetable slices. If you're slicing by hand, those numbers won't matter, try to stay as consistent as possible.
- In a large pot, add in the diced onion and garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant. Then toss in the butter and once melted add in the flour. Whisk the flour until it starts give you a nutty smell before adding in the water. After, adding in the water, add in the milk. This is important because the water cools the pot quickly to avoid curdling the milk.
- Bring the ingredients to a simmer, do not boil. Once they start to simmer and the sauce has thickened turn off the heat but leave the pot on the hot eye.
- Add in the cheese and thyme. Season with salt and pepper here as well.
- Preheat the oven to 400℉.
- In the 9x13 baking dish, add in the cheese sauce then gradually add in the potatoes making sure all of them are covered. Cover the baking dish with foil then place in the oven for 30 minutes. Remove the foil after that time then bake a remaining 30 minutes or until the topping is browning and the potatoes are tender.
- Allow to cool then serve.
