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. Slice the potatoes thinly to about 1/8 inch using a mandoline or sharp knife.
  3. Layer the potato slices in the greased baking dish, forming a tight single layer.
  4. Melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  5. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Whisk in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour, stirring continuously for about 1 minute to form a roux.
  7. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1 cup of whole milk, and simmer on medium-low for 3-5 minutes until it thickens.
  8. Layer more potato slices and sprinkle a generous amount of shredded cheese, repeating until all potatoes and cheese are used.
  9. Pour the warm sauce evenly over the layered potatoes and cheese.
  10. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 to 60 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.
  11. After baking, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 to 30 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  12. Let the dish rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  13. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
