Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and slice Yukon Gold potatoes into ⅛-inch rounds.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, and sauté the diced onion and minced garlic until soft.
  • Stir in flour to form a roux, then gradually add milk and broth, whisking until smooth. Add thyme and salt.
  • Once thickened, remove from heat and stir in cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan until fully incorporated.
  • Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in a greased casserole dish, followed by one-third of the cheese sauce. Repeat twice more.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes, then remove foil and bake for an additional 35-45 minutes until golden brown.
  • Allow to rest for 10 minutes before serving to help the layers set.

Notes

Ensure even slicing of potatoes for best results and generously layer cheese sauce for enhanced flavor.
