Ingredients

• 450 grams green beans, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
• 450 grams russet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 300 ml milk
• 200 grams shredded cheddar cheese
• 120 ml sour cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 cup crispy fried onions
• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil or butter.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the diced potatoes and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until just tender. Remove the potatoes with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot of boiling water, add the green beans and blanch them for 4-5 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 5

Gradually add the milk to the roux, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 150 grams of shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.

Step 7

In the prepared baking dish, layer the green beans and potatoes evenly. Pour the cheese sauce over the top and gently toss to coat.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining 50 grams of shredded cheddar cheese over the casserole, followed by the crispy fried onions.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Green Bean Potato Casserole!
