  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds potatoes, washed, dried, and sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 5 cloves garlic, finely minced or pressed through a garlic press
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups Parmesan cheese
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Make the Sauce: In a large saucepan or stock pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to avoid burning. Stir in Italian seasoning and garlic powder for flavor. Whisk in the flour and cook until the mixture turns a golden brown (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add Dairy and Cheese: Slowly add milk, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in heavy cream and simmer the sauce, stirring often, until it thickens (about 4-5 minutes). Turn the heat to low, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Keep whisking until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes smooth (about 5 minutes). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Combine Potatoes and Sauce: Add the sliced potatoes to the sauce and gently fold them in until they are well coated.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Transfer the potato mixture into a 13×9-inch casserole dish (or similar size). Spread the potatoes out in an even layer. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and the sauce is bubbling.
  7. Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the potatoes rest for 5-10 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy your creamy, cheesy, garlicky potatoes!

Notes

  • This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 3 days before baking. Just cover with foil and bake when ready.
  • For extra crispy top, you can broil the potatoes for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
  • Feel free to use other types of cheese, like Gruyère or Gouda, for a twist on flavor.
