Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.

  2. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute or until fragrant.

  3. Stir in the flour to create a roux, cooking for another 1-2 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.

  4. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  5. Remove the sauce from heat and stir in 1 cup of cheddar cheese, along with the grated Parmesan. Season with thyme, salt, and pepper.

  6. Place a layer of thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by a generous drizzle of the cheesy sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of sauce on top.

  7. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.

  8. Remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

  9. Once done, let the Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and added freshness.
