Preheat and Prepare

Sauté Onions and Garlic

Make the Sauce
  1. Sprinkle in 3 tablespoons of flour, along with salt and pepper, stirring for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until thickened, about 5–7 minutes.
Layer the Potatoes
  1. In your prepared casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes evenly and pour half of the sauce over them.
Repeat the Layers

Bake Covered
