Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and slice the Yukon Gold potatoes into thin ⅛-inch rounds.
  2. Melt ¼ cup of butter in a medium saucepan, add diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in ¼ cup of all-purpose flour to form a roux, then whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of chicken broth until smooth.
  4. Add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme and 1 teaspoon of salt, bring to a gentle boil and cook until slightly thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese, and ¾ cup of grated Parmesan cheese until melted.
  6. Grease a 9 x 13 casserole dish, layer one-third of the sliced potatoes, pour one-third of the sauce, and repeat two more times.
