Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
  2. Wash and peel about 2-3 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, then slice them into 1/8-inch rounds.
  3. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Add one finely diced onion and 12 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour into the sautéed mixture, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.
  5. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of chicken broth, bringing to a gentle boil for about 2-3 minutes until thickened.
  6. Remove from heat and add 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, along with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir in the cheeses until melted and smooth.
  7. Layer the sliced potatoes in the baking dish, pouring a portion of the cheese sauce over them. Repeat until three layers are made, finishing with sauce on top.
  8. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and continue baking for 35-45 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
  10. Let the dish rest for 10 minutes before serving.
