Easy Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Instructions

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

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

3. Whisk in the flour until well combined with the butter to create a roux. Cook the roux for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

4. Slowly pour in the milk while continuously whisking to avoid lumps. Cook the mixture until it thickens and becomes smooth, for about 5-7 minutes.

5. Season the creamy sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

6. Begin assembling the scalloped potatoes by layering half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish.

7. Pour half of the creamy sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly to cover each slice.

8. Sprinkle half of the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses over the sauced potatoes.

9. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheeses.

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

11. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is golden and bubbly, and the potatoes are fork-tender.

12. Once cooked, let the dish sit for a few minutes to cool slightly before serving.

13. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
