Ingredients

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 cups whole milk

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 clove garlic, minced

2 pounds russet potatoes, thinly sliced

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ teaspoon ground paprika

Directions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with butter.

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat; add flour and cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps, and cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and minced garlic until the cheese has melted into a smooth sauce.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.

Repeat the previous step with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce, ensuring even coverage.

Sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and paprika for added flavor and a golden crust.

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, until potatoes are tender.

Remove foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the top is browned and bubbly.

10.

Let the scalloped potatoes rest for 10 minutes before serving to set the layers.
