- 2 cups milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese optional
Instructions
Prepare the Potatoes
- Wash and peel the potatoes. Slice them thinly using a knife. Try to keep slices even so they cook at the same speed.
Make the Sauce
- In a saucepan, melt butter on low heat. Add flour and mix well. Slowly add milk while stirring. Cook until the sauce becomes smooth and thick.
Add Seasoning
- Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to the sauce. Mix well. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Layer the Potatoes
- Place a layer of sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour some sauce over them. Repeat layers until all potatoes and sauce are used.
Add Cheese (Optional)
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top for extra flavor. This step is optional but makes the dish richer.
Bake the Dish
- Place the baking dish in a preheated oven at 180°C. Bake for about 60 minutes. The top should turn golden and the potatoes should be soft.
Check Doneness
- Insert a fork into the potatoes. If it goes in easily, the dish is ready. If not, bake for a few more minutes.
Cool and Serve
- Remove from oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve warm and enjoy the creamy texture.
Notes
- Use mandoline slicer for even slices
- Add onions for extra flavor
- Use cream instead of milk for richness
- Add herbs like thyme or parsley
- Use different cheeses for variety
