Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • Melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Add onion and cook until softened, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle on the flour and whisk for 1 minute.
  • While whisking, slowly pour in the broth.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, paprika, cayenne and nutmeg.
  • Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring regularly (don’t let it boil).
  • Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Place sliced potatoes into a large bowl and toss with remaining 1 teaspoon salt (this will draw out some liquid, just discard).
  • Spread half of the potatoes in an even layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Top evenly with half of the cream sauce.
  • Sprinkle evenly with half of the cheddar cheese and half the parmesan.
  • Top evenly with the remaining sliced potatoes, the remaining cream sauce, and the remaining cheddar cheese and parmesan.
  • Cover the pan with aluminum foil that's been sprayed with cooking spray and bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake uncovered for 20-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are cooked through.
  • Cool for 20 minutes, blot any grease, then slice and serve warm!
