Ingredients
Scale
3 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or Gruyere (optional)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish with butter.
Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 1/8-inch thick). Slice the onion thinly.
In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Add cheese if using. Remove from heat.
Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish, followed by half of the onion. Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes and onion. Repeat layers.
Dot the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Let the potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving.
