A healthy garlic potato au gratin recipe that’s delicious, filling and filling when served with steak or chicken.
Ogratin potatoes are one of my favorite side dishes because they are loaded with cheese.
They’re a perfect match for steak or chicken, and they’re also very filling as a bread substitute when you’re suddenly running low on your favorite sourdough roll.
Most recipes call for Russet potatoes for this dish, but I prefer Yukon Golds. They taste much better to me.
Bonus: Yukon Gold potatoes have about 16 percent fewer carbs than Russet potatoes and more than twice the vitamin C.
If you are sensitive to nightshade vegetables, you can substitute cassava root. Cassava is very high in anti-nutrients, so be sure to properly prepare the cassava before roasting.
Another prep tip is to always grate your own cheese!
Even if it is certified organic, commercially sold cheese is processed with aluminum!
Cheese is one of the worst foods because it has no labeling and is processed in a very complicated way!
Buying a large block of the highest quality and chopping and dicing it yourself at home is worth every penny.

guideline
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
Add flour to melted butter and stir until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the milk and cream little by little and bring to a boil over medium heat until foamy and thick.
Add sea salt, pepper, and garlic and stir.
Pour 1/4 cup of the white sauce into a medium casserole dish.
Slice the potatoes into slices about 1/8 inch thick.
Place half of the potato slices in a baking dish.
Add another 1/4 cup of sauce and the remaining potato slices.
Pour half of the last sauce to finish.
Cover and bake at 400°F (204°C) for 55 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Remove the baking dish from the oven. Set the lid aside and sprinkle with the grated cheddar cheese.
Place the dish back in the oven with the lid open and bake for 5 minutes more, or until the cheese is melted, lightly browned, and bubbly.
Remove from oven. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
