Ingredients
- ½ medium russet potato about 12 slices 1/8 inch thick
- 2 teaspoons butter melted, add more if needed
- 1 slice onion diced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- ½ cup milk
- ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried tarragon
- ⅓ cup grated cheddar cheese
- ⅓ cup grated gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
- dash of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Lightly coat a 1-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. In a small 8-inch skillet, melt the butter and saute the onions until tender, then add the garlic and cook stirring constantly for about 30-45 seconds.
- Whisk in the flour and mix well. Pour in the milk, add the pepper and stir to combine. Continue cooking on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sauce begins to simmer and just starts to thicken, about 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Layer half the sliced potatoes on the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread half the sauce on top of the layer of potatoes. Use a slotted spoon to remove some of the onion and layer those evenly across the layer of potatoes.
- Sprinkle half of the Cheddar, half of the Gruyere, and all the Parmesan, evenly over the first layer of potatoes and sauce. Sprinkle the Tarragon over the cheese layer. Top with the remaining potatoes and sauce. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top.
- Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes.
- Uncover the casserole dish, if the sauce is bubbly around the edges continue to cook uncovered for another 15-20 minutes or until the potatoes and fully cooked.
