Potatoes Au Gratin Recipe
With a homemade cream sauce, and layers of parmesan and cheddar cheese, these potatoes au gratin are so rich and creamy!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 6 medium red potatoes sliced thinly
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups milk
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons salt
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese divided
- ½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a 9 x 9 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour, and cook 3-4 minutes, until golden brown. Slowly add the milk and cream, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook an additional 5-6 minutes, or until thickened. Remove from heat and stir in the salt and pepper and one cup of the cheddar cheese.
- Layer one-third of the potato slices as evenly as possible in the prepared baking dish. Pour one-third of the sauce over the potatoes and spread to cover. Sprinkle ⅓ of the parmesan cheese and ⅓ of the remaining cheddar cheese over the top. Repeat the layers twice more.
- Cover with foil and bake for one hour. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbling on top. Let cool 15-20 minutes before serving.
