Prepare the White Sauce:
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add flour, salt, and pepper to the melted butter, stirring until well combined.
- Pour in the milk gradually, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Set aside.
-
-
Assemble the Layers:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a casserole dish.
- Begin by layering the sliced potatoes evenly at the bottom of the dish.
- Follow with a layer of sliced onions and shredded cheddar cheese.
- Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ensuring the cheese is the top layer.
-
Pour and Bake:
- Pour a portion of the prepared white sauce over the layered ingredients, ensuring each layer is coated.
- Repeat the layering process, reserving enough white sauce to pour over the top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, remove the foil and continue baking until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown, about 15 minutes longer.
-
Serve and Enjoy:
- Once baked to perfection, remove from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.
- Serve your Potatoes Au Gratin hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Note: If you prefer your potatoes not to brown, keep the dish covered throughout the baking process. Adjust baking time as needed based on your oven’s performance. Enjoy the creamy, cheesy goodness of this classic dish! 🍽️✨
