Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
  6. Stir in Gruyere and cheddar cheese until melted and smooth.
  7. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  8. Layer the remaining potatoes over the sauce, then pour the remaining cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  9. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a crispier top, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
