Print Recipe

A rich and creamy au gratin potatoes recipe featuring thinly sliced potatoes baked in a homemade cheese sauce for a buttery, melty texture perfect for special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups thinly sliced peeled potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
  3. Gradually whisk in milk, cooking and stirring until the sauce thickens and bubbles.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in shredded Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth.
  5. Layer half of the sliced potatoes in a greased 9×9 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  7. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  8. Cover with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
  9. Remove foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  10. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, slice potatoes uniformly thin to ensure even cooking. You can add a sprinkle of extra cheese on top before the final bake for a crispier crust.
