Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or cooking spray.
  2. Wash and slice the Yukon Gold potatoes thinly (about 1/8-inch thick). Layer them in the prepared dish.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat and whisk in ¼ cup of flour. Cook until bubbling (about 2 minutes).
  4. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk and 1 cup of cream. Stir continuously until the sauce thickens (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to incorporate.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and add 1 cup of shredded mozzarella and 1 cup of shredded cheddar to the sauce. Stir until melted and creamy.
  7. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the layered potatoes and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and pour the remaining cheese sauce over the potatoes. Bake uncovered for an additional 45 minutes to 1 hour until golden brown.
  9. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or dill before serving.
