Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Garlic Scalloped Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Wash and scrub the Yukon Gold potatoes, then slice them into ⅛-inch rounds and set aside in cold water.
  3. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan, then sauté 1 diced onion and 2 minced garlic cloves for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add 3 tablespoons of flour to create a roux, then gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk and 1 cup of chicken broth until thickened.
  5. Remove from heat and add thyme, salt, and 1 cup each of cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses until melted.
