Ingredients

  • 1.5 kg potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 3–4 mm thick)
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup cooking cream
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper

  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add flour and whisk 1 minute.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk and cream. Cook 4–5 minutes until thickened.
  4. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Remove from heat.
  5. Layer half the potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half the cream sauce over, sprinkle with half the cheeses.
  6. Add remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheeses.
  7. Cover with foil and bake 45 minutes.
  8. Uncover, add sausage on top, and bake 20–25 more minutes until golden and tender.
  9. Rest 10 minutes, garnish with green onions and serve with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • Make it vegetarian by omitting sausage and adding mushrooms or caramelized onions.
  • Try different cheese combinations for more flavor depth.
  • Use low-fat milk for a lighter version.
  • Add chili flakes for heat or herbs for freshness.
