Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 1/2 cups onion, diced
• 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 1/4 cups shredded cheese (a blend of cheddar, mozzarella, and monterey jack), divided
• 1/3 cup chives, snipped
• 4 large yukon gold potatoes (any kind will do), skins on, thinly sliced

Directions

1. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees (F). To make the sauce, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat, then the diced onion was cooked in the melted butter until soft.
2. Stir the flour thoroughly into the onions and added the milk and garlic using a garlic press. The sauce was stirred over medium/high heat until it began to bubble and thicken. then remove it from the heat and stirred in 2 cups of the grated cheese. The sauce was set aside.
3. Next, we fwazzed a deep 9×9 ceramic casserole dish with some cooking spray. A single layer of potato slices was layered in the bottom of the dish, followed by a sprinkling of snipped chives. Another layer of potato came next, followed by more chives. Continue like this until the potatoes were used up.
4. The sauce was then poured over the potatoes and the whole thing was given a good shimmy shake on the counter top to get the sauce to ooze down into all the nooks and crannies. The top was sprinkled with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and another sprinkling of chives. Then place the casserole dish on a baking sheet in case it bubbled over (it didn’t) and bake it for 60 minutes until brown and bubbly.
