Best Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Ingredients:
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually add the milk and heavy cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook the sauce until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg. Remove from heat.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cream sauce over the potatoes, spreading it evenly.
Sprinkle half of the cheddar cheese over the sauce. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheddar cheese.
Top with grated Parmesan cheese and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
Bake for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
