Time 1h45m

Number Of Ingredients 15

6-7 medium yukon gold potatoes, thinly sliced into 1/8th inch rounds (3 pounds gold potatoes -- by weight is a more accurate measure)
½ white or yellow onion, cut into slices
For the sauce:
2 tablespoons salted butter
¼ cup all purpose flour (whole wheat, all purpose, or gluten free 1:1 flour will all work)
1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk (regular, skim or whole milk will also work)
8 ounces sharp cheddar cheese (2 heaping cups shredded cheddar cheese)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
Freshly ground black pepper
For topping:
1/2 cup gruyere cheese (or sub more sharp cheddar)
¼ cup grated parmesan
To garnish:
Fresh chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 2 quart square baking dish (or an 8x12 is good) with nonstick cooking spray or grease with butter or oil.
  • Place sliced potatoes in three tight slanted rows as indicated in the photos. You don't want them to be overly tight, make sure you leave enough space so the potato slices are slightly slanted. Add in onion slices in between the rows and on top of potatoes. Basically wherever you can fit them.
  • Next make your sauce: add in 2 tablespoons of butter and place over medium heat. Once butter is melted, whisk in a little bit of the flour and then slowly add in milk, a little bit at a time, alternating with the flour and vigorously whisking away any lumps. Bring mixture to a simmer; it should be a similar consistency to creamy gravy.
  • Turn heat to low and stir in shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes and onions to cover them. Don't worry, the sauce will get nice and creamy while baking.
  • Cover the pan with foil, then bake for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, remove foil, sprinkle top of potatoes with 1/2 cup shredded gruyere (or more cheddar) and ¼ cup parmesan. Return to the oven and bake for 30-45 more minutes or until potatoes are done and nice and golden brown on top. (Potatoes are done when the middle of the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork.) Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Enjoy!

Tips for Perfect Creamy Cheesy Potato Stix:

  • Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for potato stix as they are firm and have a high starch content, which helps them to crisp up nicely.
  • Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them to cook evenly. A mandoline slicer is a great tool for this.
  • Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch and prevent the stix from sticking together.
  • Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Fry the potatoes in hot oil: This will help them to crisp up quickly and evenly.
  • Drain the potatoes on paper towels: This will help to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the potatoes immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Creamy cheesy potato stix are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or game day. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this tasty treat that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a satisfying and indulgent snack, give creamy cheesy potato stix a try!
