heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

cheddar cheese

🥗Healthier: reduced-fat cheese

💰Cheaper: processed cheese

Reduced-fat cheese lowers calories while still melting well.

butter

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Olive oil provides healthy fats and is often more affordable.

potatoes

🥗Healthier: sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: white potatoes

Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor, while white potatoes are cost-effective.

1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

2

Slice russet potatoes thinly and uniformly using a mandolin slicer or knife.

3

Grate the garlic clove.

4

Melt butter in a pan over medium heat.

5

Add grated garlic to the melted butter and cook for about a minute until fragrant.

6

Add flour to the pan and stir until fully combined, ensuring no lumps remain.

7

Whisk in heavy cream while continuously whisking to avoid clumps.

8

Bring the mixture to a boil and whisk for about five minutes until it thickens, seasoning with salt and pepper.

9

Remove the mixture from heat and stir in the blue cheese until well combined.

10

In a casserole dish, layer the thinly sliced potatoes on the bottom.

11

Spread a layer of the blue cheese sauce over the first layer of potatoes, coating them fully.

12

Grate Parmesan cheese over the blue cheese sauce until fully covered.

13

Repeat the layering process: potatoes, blue cheese sauce, Parmesan cheese, until about four layers are formed, finishing with Parmesan on top.

14

Bake in the preheated oven for about 50 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.

15

Check for doneness with a fork; if it goes through the potatoes easily, they are done.
