Ingredients

  • 2 ½ lbs. Yukon gold potatoes cut into ⅛-inch slices
  • 1 small sweet onion thinly sliced
  • 4 Tbsp. butter or oil
  • 1 ¼ tsp. salt to taste
  • ½ tsp. pepper to taste
  • ¼ tsp. garlic powder
  • ¼ cup flour gluten-free, 1-to-1
  • 2 cups milk almond, cashew, or soy milk can be used
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese divided

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Slice potatoes into ⅛-inch using a mandoline or a large food processor with a slicing blade attached. (You can also slice these by hand.)
  • Place butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium heat. Once butter has melted whisk in salt, pepper, garlic powder, and flour.
  • When a thick paste forms start adding in milk ½ cup at a time. Whisk until sauce begins to thicken before adding the next addition. This part takes about 5 minutes to completely incorporate the milk.
  • When all milk has been used and sauce is a gravy consistency, turn off the heat and stir in ¾ cup of the cheddar cheese.
  • Spray a 2 ½ qt. baking dish (or a 9 x 13 inch baking pan) with non-stick cooking spray. Layer half of the potatoes in the pan, then half of the onion and half of the cheddar cheese sauce. Repeat these layers.
  • Cover dish with aluminum foil and cook for 50 minutes in preheated oven.
  • Uncover dish and sprinkle remaining ¼ c. cheddar cheese onto the potatoes and return to oven for 10-15 more minutes.
  • Optional: If you would like your topping to be slightly crispy, turn on the broiler to High and cook for 2-3 more minutes. Make sure to watch the potatoes closely to prevent burning.
  • Let potatoes sit for at least 10 minutes before servings. Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you would like to make this recipe with ham simply cut ½-pound of ham into ½-inch cubes and sprinkle over the first and second potato layers.
