Ingredients
  

For the Potatoes
  • 4 medium Russet Potatoes Slice evenly for consistent baking.
  • 1 medium Onion Shallots or leeks can be used as alternatives.
For the Cheese Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons Butter Unsalted is best for managing seasoning.
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Essential for thickening the sauce.
  • 2 cups Milk Substitute with heavy cream or plant-based alternatives if desired.
  • 2 cups Cheddar Cheese Melt beautifully; can mix with Gruyère or other cheeses.
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Pepper

Equipment

  • 2-quart baking dish
  • medium saucepan
  • whisk
  • mandoline (optional)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Layer half of the potato slices in a greased baking dish, followed by half of the onion rings. Repeat the layering.
  3. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and salt; cook until light golden, about 1-2 minutes.
  4. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cheddar until melted.
  5. Pour the cheese sauce over the layered potatoes and onions, ensuring everything is covered evenly. Sprinkle with additional salt and pepper.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 25-30 minutes until tender and golden brown.
  7. Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving to help set the layers.
