Ingredients

• 4 large Russet potatoes
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups Whole milk
• 0.5 cups Heavy cream
• 1 cups Blue cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Peel the russet potatoes and slice them into thin, even rounds about 1/4-inch thick.

Step 3

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Once fully melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute until slightly golden and bubbly.

Step 4

Gradually whisk in the whole milk and heavy cream, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the blue cheese and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper.

Step 6

Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the prepared baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour one-third of the blue cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat this process for two more layers, making sure to evenly distribute the sauce.

Step 7

Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top layer of potatoes and sauce.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 10

Let the dish rest for 5 minutes after removing it from the oven. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
