  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

  7. Layer half of the potatoes in the prepared baking dish. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  8. Repeat layers with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  9. Top with remaining Gruyere and cheddar cheese, and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  10. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  11. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of milk. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
