- 4 Tbsp all purpose flour
- Salt and pepper , to taste
- 2 cups whole milk
- 3 Tbsp butter , cubed
- 1 cup cheddar cheese , shredded
- 1 Tbsp parsley for garnish , chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Peel the potatoes then use a mandolin or sharp knife for a thin slice about to ΒΌ inches thick. Finely chop the onions.
- Spray the bottoms and sides of an 8 x 8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Alternate the layers of potatoes, onions, flour, salt and pepper. Start with potatoes first and end it with flour mixture on top. You should have 3 layers. *See recipe notes
- Top it with cubed butter and heat the milk until just before boiling.
- Pour the milk over the layers in the baking dish and top it with shredded cheese.
- Bake covered until the potatoes are fork tender. (approx 50 minutes) Uncover and bake until the cheese bubbles and browns. (approx 15 minutes)
- Broil for 2 minutes to get a nice golden brown top. Remove the dish from the oven, and let it stand for 15 - 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
Notes
- A mandolin will help you get even thickness of slices. If you don't have one, you will need a very sharp knife.
- Put potatoes in a single layer, minimally overlapping but fit larger pieces together with smaller pieces to form a sort of puzzle, to cover as much space as possible.
- Place a cookie sheet or drip pan under the dish while baking to catch anything that bubbles over.
