Servings
4
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, divided
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cup whole milk
  • 0.5 tsp salt, to taste
  • 0.3 tsp freshly ground white pepper
  • 1 0.5 lb new red potatoes, cooked and sliced ½ inch thick
  • 3 oz sharp Cheddar cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease an 8-cup rectangular baking dish with 1 tablespoon of the butter.

  2. 2

    In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk and cook, stirring, until slightly thick and coating the back of a spoon, about 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, toss the cooked potato slices with salt and pepper. Fold in the cream sauce. Pour into the prepared baking dish.

  4. 4

    Sprinkle the top evenly with the grated Cheddar and Monterey Jack. Bake until golden-brown and bubbly, about 8 to 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Cool for a couple of minutes before serving.
