Ingredients

8 tablespoons (1 stick) butter

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 cups milk

1/2 cup grated yellow Cheddar

1/4 cup grated American cheese

1/4 cup grated white cheddar

1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder

1/2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon black pepper

3 pounds russet potatoes, washed and scrubbed, peeled and sliced thin

Au Gratin:

1 stick butter, melted

2 cups panko bread crumbs

2 teaspoons smoky paprika

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  2. In a large sauce pot over medium-high heat, add butter. Stir in the flour until pasty. Add milk; stir to remove lumps and let cook for 6 minutes until it gets thick. Lower heat and add the cheese, bouillon, nutmeg and black pepper. Whisk until well combined and sauce thickens, approximately 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. In a bowl, combine butter, panko and smoky paprika. Stir well.
  4. Place potatoes into a casserole dish. Pour cheese over potatoes and sprinkle au gratin on top. Wrap with foil and bake in oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 10 minutes uncovered. Allow to sit for 10 minutes.

The beshamel is too much. You will need to add more cheese and add some salt.thebrecipebis not very cheesie as is. I cut the potatoes at 1/8" and they were under cooked. They needed at least another 15 minutes if not more.
