Instructions
 

  • Slice potatoes with a mandoline. Slice the onions. Mix together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
    Peel and slice your potatoes. I used a rotary cheese grater and mandoline to slice these potatoes up. Slice onions. Put them in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
  • Melt butter in a sauce pan with the minced garlic. Stir in the flour and let cook for one minute.
    Butter, garlic, and flour making a roux for white sauce for scalloped potatoes.
  • Slowly add the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Then pour in the milk. Season with salt and pepper. When the white sauce just begins to boil, remove from heat and stir in thyme.
    Make the cream sauce by melting the butter with minced garlic in a saucepan over medium heat.
  • Make the casserole. Start with a quarter of the white sauce and shredded Grueyere cheese. Layer a single layer of 1/3 of the potatoes and onions. Pour the next quarter of the what sauce and cheese, then potatoes and onions. Repeat again. Then top off with the cheddar cheese as well.
    Follow up with a layer of 1/3 of the yellow potatoes, sweet potatoes, and onions. Then, follow up with 2 more layers of sauce, gruyere cheese, and potatoes. End with the sauce.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for one hour. Remove the foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
    Top the final layer of white sauce with the shredded cheddar cheese.
  • If potatoes are not soft to a fork at an hour, keep cooking until potatoes are soft.
