Ingredients
Scale
- 6 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 3 cups milk (whole milk recommended)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Gruyere)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish. Arrange a layer of potato slices in the bottom of the dish, followed by a layer of sliced onions. Repeat until all the potatoes and onions are used, slightly overlapping each layer.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it forms a smooth paste (a roux).
- Gradually whisk in the milk, making sure to break up any lumps that may form. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth and begins to thicken, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
- Pour the cream sauce evenly over the potatoes and onions in the baking dish, making sure to coat all the layers.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the potatoes.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is melted and golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should easily slide through the potatoes.
- Let the scalloped potatoes rest for 10-15 minutes before serving.
