Cook Time: 31 minutes

Green Giant product(s) used: Green Giant® Sliced Potatoes

Lists of ingredients:

  • 2 Tablespoons butter + extra for greasing
    ¼ cup all-purpose flour
    1 cup whole milk
    1 teaspoon salt
    ½ teaspoon black pepper
    ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg
    1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese, divided
    1 cup freshly grated Gruyère cheese, divided
    2 cans (15 ounces each) Green Giant® Sliced Potatoes, drained

STEPS

1 Preheat oven to 375ºF and grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter.
2 Heat butter over medium in a saucepan. Sprinkle flour over butter and cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Continue to heat, whisking continuously until sauce begins to thicken.
3 Stir in half the cheddar cheese and half the Gruyère cheese until melted and creamy. Turn off heat.
4 Arrange half of the potatoes in the bottom of the casserole dish, overlapping slightly. Pour half of the sauce over potatoes. Top with remaining potatoes and remaining sauce. Sprinkle remaining cheese and cover with aluminum foil.
5 Bake for 15 minutes. Remove aluminum foil and bake until top is lightly browned and the sauce is bubbly, about 15 minutes longer. Serve hot.

TIPS & TRICKS

You can make them ahead of time through step 4, covering the casserole with plastic wrap and storing it in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. At serving time, allow the dish to come to room temperature before baking as directed. Leftovers reheat perfectly in the microwave.
