Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and butter a deep 20 x 30cm baking dish. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat and cook the onion and garlic with a pinch of salt for 8-10 mins until the onion has softened slightly. Tip in the flour, stir well, then cook for a few minutes more. Mix the milk and stock together, then gradually pour this in, whisking well between additions until everything is incorporated and you have a smooth sauce. Simmer for a few minutes, then season well.
- Lay half the sliced potatoes in a single layer in the buttered dish, slightly overlapping them if needed. Pour over half the sauce, then scatter over half the parmesan. Arrange the remaining potatoes on top, then pour over the remaining sauce and scatter with the remaining parmesan. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hr, then remove the foil and bake for another 30 mins until golden on top.

Tips:
- To achieve perfectly tender potatoes, select starchy varieties like Russet or Yukon Gold, which hold their shape well during baking.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly to ensure uniform cooking and a pleasing layered appearance.
- Use a mandoline or a sharp knife to achieve consistent potato slices.
- Soak the potato slices in cold water for at least 30 minutes before assembling the casserole. This removes excess starch, preventing the potatoes from becoming gummy.
- Generously butter the baking dish to prevent the potatoes from sticking and to enhance their golden-brown crust.
- Layer the potato slices, onion mixture, and cheese evenly to ensure even cooking and distribution of flavors.
- Pour the cream mixture over the potato layers, ensuring it reaches all corners and crevices, to create a rich and creamy sauce.
- Top the casserole with additional cheese and bread crumbs for a crispy, flavorful crust.
- Bake the casserole until the potatoes are tender, the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
- Allow the casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the flavors meld and the casserole to set.
Conclusion:
Scalloped potatoes with a French onion base offer a delightful combination of creamy, cheesy potato layers and savory, caramelized onions. With its simple yet flavorful ingredients and elegant presentation, this dish is perfect for special occasions or everyday meals. Whether you're looking for a comforting side dish or a hearty main course, this casserole is sure to satisfy your cravings.
