Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F/190°C/gas mark 5 and butter a baking dish.
  2. Peel (optional) and slice the potatoes thinly, then layer them on the baking dish.
  3. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring, until smooth. Gradually add the milk and cream, whisking to avoid lumps. Season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.
  4. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  5. Remove the foil and pour the rest of the sauce over the potatoes. Bake for another hour or until golden and tender.
  6. Garnish with parsley and serve hot or warm. Enjoy!
