Ingredients

🥔 5 large potatoes, thinly sliced
🧈 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

🌾 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
🐔 1 cup chicken broth
🥛 1 cup heavy cream
🧀 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
🧂 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon powder
🌿 1 teaspoon garlic powder
🍋 Optional: 1/2 teaspoon lemon pepper
🧅 1 teaspoon onion powder
🌿 Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
🥓 1/2 cup cooked beef bacon, crumbled
🤍 1/2 cup sour cream
🧅 1/4 cup green onions, chopped
🧀 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
🌶️ Paprika, for garnish

Instructions

1- Preheat your Oven:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2- Prepare the Sauce:

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in the flour and cook for another minute.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream.
Add Parmesan cheese, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, lemon pepper (if using), and onion powder.
Reduce the heat and let the sauce simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

3- Assemble the Dish:

Grease a baking dish.
Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes at the bottom.
Generously spread some of the sauce over the potatoes, followed by a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
Repeat the layers twice, finishing with a layer of sauce and cheddar cheese on top.

4- Bake the Dish:

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

5- Add the Toppings:

Once out of the oven, let it cool slightly.
Top with crumbled beef bacon, sour cream, and chopped green onions.
Garnish with cilantro and a dash of paprika for an added pop of color.
