To make this recipe, you'll need the following ingredients: one kilogram of potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, 50 grams of butter, 50 grams of flour, 500 ml of milk, salt, pepper to taste, nutmeg to taste (optional), 100 grams of grated cheese (you can use Gruyère, Emmental, Cheddar, or any cheese of your choice), and freshly chopped parsley for garnish (optional).
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly grease a baking dish with butter or cooking spray. Wash, peel, and thinly slice the potatoes and set aside. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the flour and mix well to form a paste. Cook the mixture for a couple of minutes, stirring constantly, to cook the flour.

Gradually pour the milk over the pasta, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps from forming. Continue cooking the mixture until it thickens and reaches a creamy consistency. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg to taste.
Place a layer of potato slices in the bottom of the baking dish. Pour a layer of béchamel over the potatoes and sprinkle with a portion of grated cheese. Repeat this process until all the potatoes and béchamel have been used, finishing with a layer of grated cheese on top.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for approximately 30 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for another 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
Once the gratin potatoes are ready, remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a touch of freshness before enjoying this delicious dish.
Gratin potatoes with béchamel sauce are a comforting and delicious dish that's perfect for any occasion. Whether served as a main course with a fresh salad or as a side dish alongside your favorite meat or fish, this recipe is sure to be a hit with your loved ones.
