Slice 4 medium sized potatoes thinly and make sure they're even.

Add the sliced potatoes into salt water to avoid decolorizing and keep them fresh longer.

Thinly slice the onion.

Heat a pan and add 1 stick of butter, letting it melt.

Add 1 tablespoon of flour to the melted butter and keep stirring.

Stir in 2 cups of milk and keep stirring the sauce to avoid lumps, simmering for a few minutes.

Season the sauce with your favorite herbs: salt, organic basil, parsley, and pepper.

Add chili flakes to the sauce for extra flavor.

Combine the sliced potatoes with the sauce until well mixed.

In a baking dish, add a layer of the potatoes covered in sauce, followed by some onions and optional butter or cheese.

Add another layer of potatoes and sauce on top.

Wrap the dish tightly in foil to prevent steam from escaping.

Preheat the oven and bake for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are tender.
