Ingredients
- 1.5 pound potatoes about 5 medium - you need 3 cups of sliced potatoes
- 1/2 medium onion
- 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
- salt & pepper
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons butter cubed (plus more for greasing dish)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
Optional, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Instructions
Get prepped
- Grease an 8 x 8 baking dish, and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Peel the potatoes, then using a mandolin, or sharp knife - do a medium slice on your potatoes. They should be between a quarter and a half inch thick).
- Slice the onions thinly.
Cup of Yum
Layer ingredients
- Layer the potatoes, onions, flour, salt and pepper and butter, about 3 times.
- Heat the milk until it's hot, but not boiling.
- Pour the milk over the top of the dish.
Bake
- Cover with foil, and bake until potatoes are tender (about 50 minutes).
- Uncover, add the cheese and bake until top browns, then remove from the oven, and let it stand while the sauce thickens.
- Devour (and hide the leftovers for yourself).
Notes
- A mandolin will help you get super even slices. If you don't have one, a super sharp knife is essential.
- Make this ahead and have it ready to bake when you get home!
- Set a tray underneath the pan when baking - catches any overflow (and saves you from cleaning the oven)
