Ingredients:

4 Russet potatoes

1 tablespoon Olive oil

½ white onion, diced

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon pepper

Pinch nutmeg

4 tablespoons butter

4 tablespoons flour

2 ½ c milk or heavy cream

2 c shredded cheddar cheese

Chives for garnish

Directions:

Step 1: Prepare the oven and preheat to 200 degrees C or 400 degrees F.

Step 2: Apply cooking spray on the bottom of an oven-safe casserole dish.

Step 3: Peel the potatoes and slice them crosswise about ⅛-inch thin.

Step 4: Place them in a large mixing bowl and pour in cold water. Coldwater prevents the potato slices from turning brown.

Step 5: Place a medium saucepan on the stove and turn the heat to medium.

Step 6: Add in oil and allow it to become hot.

Step 7: Add in the garlic and onion, then season with a pinch of nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes until the onion is translucent and the garlic is aromatic.

Step 8: Add in the butter and allow it to melt.

Step 9: Add in the flour and whisk for about 30 seconds.

Step 10: Moderately add in the heavy cream or milk and stir until well combined.

Step 11: Add in 1 cup of shredded cheese and stir until creamy.

Step 12: Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.

Step 13: Spread a thin layer of cheese sauce on the bottom of a 3-quart casserole dish.

Step 14: Top it with two even layers of potatoes followed by a spoonful of sauce.

Step 15: Repeat this process until all the ingredients are arranged in layers.

Step 16: Top the potatoes with the reserved 1 cup of cheese.

Step 17: Cover the top with aluminium foil.

Step 18: Place it inside the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Step 19: Remove the foil 15 minutes before the baking time ends.

Step 20: Remove from the oven and top it with chopped chives.

Step 21: Let the casserole sit at room temperature to cool for at least 30 minutes.

Step 22: Slice, serve, and enjoy!

Note:

Make sure to grease your pan with a non-stick cooking spray or softened butter to prevent the dish from sticking.
