Instructions:
Step 1:
Peel and cut the potatoes evenly so they will cook at the same time. Once done, place the sliced potatoes in a bowl and fill it with cold water to remove the starch. Rinse it 3 to 4 times until the water becomes clear.
Step 2:
Boil some water in a pot and sprinkle some salt. Once boiling, add the potatoes and boil for 2 minutes. Make sure not to overcook them. Strain the water and set aside.
Step 3:
In a pot, add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and half a teaspoon of minced garlic. Saute until slightly brown. Next, add the chopped yellow onion and cook until translucent.
Step 4:
Turn the heat to low. Add a tablespoon and one and a half of flour little by little while stirring it. Next, add 1/3 cup of whole milk while stirring constantly. After that, add a half can of chicken stock, 1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of chopped parsley. Mix well.
Step 5:
Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of cheddar cheese and stir in.
Step 6:
Add the potatoes and mix until everything is coated. Transfer the coated potatoes to your casserole dish and sprinkle with more cheese on top.
Step 7:
Place inside the oven and bake at 350F for about 25 minutes.
Step 8:
Once done baking, sprinkle bacon bits on top and chopped parsley. Serve and enjoy!
