Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).

Grease a baking dish with butter.

Slice potatoes thinly and set aside.

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Gradually whisk in heavy cream and milk until smooth; cook until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.

Season sauce with salt, black pepper, paprika, nutmeg, and mustard powder.

Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish.

Pour half of the sauce over the potatoes, then sprinkle with cheddar cheese.

Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, sauce, and cheese.

Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Remove foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until golden and bubbly.

Let rest for 10 minutes before serving.
