Ingredients
- 3 lbs Yukon Gold potato $3.59, 6 to 8 medium
- 6 1/2 tsp salt $0.18, divided
- 5 Tbsp butter $0.70, salted
- 5 Tbsp all-purpose flour $0.04
- 2 cups milk $0.50
- 1 cup chicken broth $0.16
- 1/4 tsp black pepper $0.01, freshly ground
- 1/4 tsp onion powder $0.03
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder $0.03
- 1 pinch nutmeg $0.01
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper $0.01
Instructions
- Place a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 350°F. Grease a 9x9 casserole dish. Fill a large pot with a gallon of water and add 6 teaspoons (2 tablespoons) of salt. Peel and slice potatoes 1/4 inch thick, add to the salted water, and boil for five minutes. Strain the potatoes.
- Mix the milk and chicken stock in a microwave-safe dish and warm the liquid until it's barely steaming. Melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in the flour and cook, constantly stirring, until the paste begins to bubble.
- Add the hot milk and chicken stock mixture, stirring as the sauce thickens. Bring it to a boil.
- Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutmeg, and cayenne pepper. Lower the heat, and cook the milk sauce for two minutes more. Remove from the heat.
- Layer half of the potatoes in the pan and cover with half of the sauce.
- Repeat the layering process for the final layer.
- Spread the sauce on top of the potatoes in an even layer, from edge to edge. Cover the dish with aluminum and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the aluminum and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are bubbly and golden brown and a knife inserted into the potatoes meets no resistance. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

- *Use whole milk, as the less fat you have in the dairy, the more likely the sauce will break or become grainy. If you prefer a dairy-free sauce, substitute the milk with full-fat coconut milk.
