Creamy Garlic Potato Bake

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

2. 2

   Peel and thinly slice the potatoes (about 3-4 mm thick). Set aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.

3. 3

   In a saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. 4

   Add the flour to the saucepan and whisk for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

5. 5

   Gradually pour in the milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

6. 6

   Stir in the sour cream, onion powder, thyme, black pepper, salt, and paprika. Mix well and remove from heat.

7. 7

   Drain and pat dry the potato slices. Layer half of the potatoes in a greased baking dish.

8. 8

   Pour half of the creamy sauce over the potatoes, spreading evenly. Layer the remaining potatoes on top, then pour over the rest of the sauce.
