@samsdailybites: “Easy recipe of the day ❤️”. Creamy Cheesy Potato Bake with Béchamel Sauce 🥔� Ingredients Makes 6–8 servings. For the potatoes 3 lb potatoes (about 6 medium) 1 tsp salt, for boiling 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp paprika For the creamy béchamel sauce 4 tbsp butter 4 tbsp all-purpose flour 4 cups whole milk 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp black pepper 1 tsp salt, or to taste 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (optional) 1 cup shredded mozzarella 1/2 cup grated Parmesan For the cheesy topping 2 cups shredded mozzarella 1/2 cup shredded cheddar (optional) Chopped parsley for garnish Step-by-step instructions 1. Prepare the potatoes Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel and slice potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds. Boil in salted water for 6–8 minutes until slightly tender, then drain. 2. Make the creamy sauce Melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Gradually add milk while whisking, then stir in heavy cream, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Cook for 5–8 minutes until smooth and thick. 3. Add the cheese Remove the sauce from the heat. Stir in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/2 cup Parmesan until melted and creamy. 4. Layer the casserole Arrange half the potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour over half the sauce, then repeat with the remaining potatoes and sauce. Cover the top with mozzarella and optional cheddar. 5. Bake until golden Bake uncovered for 25–35 minutes until bubbling and golden brown. Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end if needed, watching carefully. 6. Serve and enjoy Let it rest for 10 minutes so the creamy sauce settles. Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve warm. Tips for the best creamy texture For extra creaminess: Use whole milk and heavy cream. For a smooth sauce: Add milk gradually and whisk constantly to avoid lumps. For the golden top: Use mozzarella with a little cheddar or Parmesan. For tender potatoes: Don't boil them until completely soft; they will finish cooking in the oven. “Follow & Save for tomorrow’s recipe!”❤️❤️##CheesyPotatoes #PotatoBake #BechamelSauce #ComfortFood #EasyRecipes
