Aged Gouda Scalloped Potatoes

These potatoes will be your new favorite comfort dish and one scoop will never be enough!

Ingredients:
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
Kosher salt
6 medium-large russet potatoes cut into quarter-inch wide slices
6 garlic cloves
Fresh thyme
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups heavy cream
1 cup whole milk
8 ounces aged gouda, grated
½ freshly ground black pepper
2 tbsp minced chives

Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 9x13’’ baking sheet. We recommend butter, but other methods will work also.
Bring 6 cups of heavily salted water to a boil in a large pot, leaving room for the potatoes.
Add the potatoes and lower the heat to a simmer. The potatoes should be tender but still firm enough to hold their shape, about 8 minutes.
Drain the potatoes.
Using a medium saucepan, melt the butter. Add the garlic and fresh thyme. Cook on medium-low until fragrant.
Increase the heat to medium and slowly mix in the flour. Stir constantly for about 3 minutes or until slightly browned.
Slowly add the cream and milk, whisking constantly until the sauce is fully combined.
Add the cheese, salt, and pepper and stir slowly until the cheese melts and is fully mixed into the sauce
Place the potatoes in the greased pan and pour the sauce over.
Bake until the top is golden and bubbly, about 25 minutes.
Top with chives and fresh thyme and enjoy!
