- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp all purpose flour
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tsp dry mustard
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 1 tsp sea salt to taste
- ¼ tsp black pepper fresh ground
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
- ½ cup gruyere cheese shredded

Cheese for Topping
- ¼ cup cheddar cheese shredded

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- Generously grease a 2 quart casserole dish with softened butter, and set aside.
- With a mandoline or very sharp knife, slice potatoes into very, very thin slices, about 1/8" thick.
- In a medium sized saucepan, melt butter over medium high heat.
- When butter is light and foamy, add garlic and saute for 1 minute, until soft and very fragrant - stirring a few times to prevent burning.
- Slowly add in flour, whisking vigorously for about one minute.
- Add in milk slowly, whisking vigorously, until there are no more lumps.
- Keep whisking until mixture is thick and coats the back of a spoon.
- Turn off heat and remove pan.
- Add cheeses, dry mustard (optional), herbs, paprika, salt and pepper, and stir until smooth.
- Start to arrange and layer half the potatoes and onions in greased casserole dish, pour approximately half of the cheese sauce over potatoes, sink in, and let sit for a minute or two to help it soak in.
- Repeat with remaining potatoes, onions, and cheese cream sauce.
- Sprinkle top of potatoes with cheese.
- Cover in nonstick aluminum foil.
- Place casserole on a baking sheet, to catch any extra drips, and bake for 60 minutes.
- Remove foil and bake, uncovered another 25-30 minutes.
- Potatoes should be soft, tender, and the cheese should be smoothly melted.
- Broil on HIGH for a minute or two for extra browning and crispiness.
- Sprinkle the top with diced chives, thyme, or parsley and serve.
