This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
Kosher salt
2 cloves garlic, smashed and finely chopped
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 quart milk
1/4 cup Dijon mustard
2 cups grated Gruyere
1 cup grated Parmigiano
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, unpeeled, cut into 1/4-inch slices

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions, then season with salt and cook until the onions are soft and very aromatic, 5 to 7 minutes.

Tent with foil if the top is getting too brown.

Tips:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for this dish, as they are starchy and hold their shape well. Yukon Gold potatoes can also be used.
  • Slice the potatoes thinly: This will help them cook evenly. Aim for slices that are about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Don't overcook the potatoes: They should be tender, but still have a little bit of bite to them. Overcooked potatoes will be mushy.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use one that you like. A sharp cheddar is a classic choice, but you can also use Gruyère, Swiss, or Parmesan.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but you can feel free to add other ingredients to your liking. Some popular additions include cooked bacon, diced ham, or sautéed mushrooms.

Conclusion:
