Ingredients

• 1 Pinch cooking spray, to taste
• 8 Large potatoes, peeled and sliced
• 14 Slices Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 Cup all-purpose flour
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Cup skim milk
• 0.5 Cup heavy cream
• 0.5 Cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) unsalted butter, melted
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) onion powder
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) nutmeg, ground
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) Dijon mustard
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh parsley, minced
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) fresh chives, minced

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl, mix the flour, salt, pepper, onion powder, and nutmeg. Set aside.
3. Arrange a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Sprinkle a portion of the flour mixture over the potatoes, then layer with slices of cheddar cheese. Repeat the layering process with the remaining potatoes, flour mixture, and cheese.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the skim milk, heavy cream, and Dijon mustard. Pour this mixture evenly over the layered potatoes.
5. Cover the dish with aluminum foil and place it on a roasting pan to catch any drips. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
6. Remove the foil and sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and melted butter. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
7. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and chives before serving.

Enjoy this decadent side dish that pairs beautifully with roasted meats or as a standalone vegetarian delight!
