Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/gas mark 5 and butter a baking dish.
- Peel and slice the potatoes thinly, then layer them on the baking dish.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring, until smooth. Gradually add the milk and cream, whisking to avoid lumps. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.

- Remove the foil and pour the rest of the sauce over the potatoes. Bake for another hour or until golden and tender.
- Garnish with parsley and serve hot or warm. Enjoy!
Notes
For faster and crispier cooking, slice potatoes thinly and evenly. Soaking in cold water for 15 minutes can help reduce starch. Layering with other ingredients like bacon or ham adds flavor. Adjust cheese types for added complexity, and consider adding spices for warmth.
