Using a two-stage cook in the Anova Precision Oven means these creamy, cheesy potatoes are foolproof. The first steam cook tenderizes the potatoes, while the second high-heat dry cook thickens the sauce and melts the cheese. The combination of domestic and Italian Parmesan cheeses gives the finished dish mild cheesy flavor. You can swap these cheeses with sharper options, such as cheddar, for a more robust flavor.

Ingredients

2 lb

1 Tbsp

1 Tbsp

all-purpose flour

2 cups

heavy cream

3 cloves

garlic, minced

1 Tbsp

onion powder

¼ tsp

1.5 cups

Steps

1. Preheat the Oven

Rack

Sous Vide Mode: Off

Steam: 25%

Temp: 350°F

Heat: Rear

2. Slice Potatoes

Working with one potato at a time, peel and, using a mandoline slicer or sharp knife, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Transfer to a bowl of water to prevent browning. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.

3. Make Roux

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the butter is foamy, whisk in the flour. Continue to cook, whisking, until the mixture is foamy and lightened in color, 2 to 3 minutes.

4. Make Sauce

While whisking constantly, gradually pour in the cream, followed by the garlic, onion powder, nutmeg, and white pepper. Continue to cook, whisking frequently, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.

5. Add Cheese

Whisk in 1 cup of the domestic parmesan and all of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Continue to whisk until all of the cheese is melted and incorporated. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.

6. Begin Casserole Assembly

Shingle one layer of potatoes in the bottom of a greased oven-safe baking dish. Top with a layer of cheese sauce.

7. Finish Casserole Assembly

Continue to layer potatoes and sauce until baking dish is full. Make sure to finish with a layer of sauce.

8. First Cook

Rack

Transfer to the oven and cook until the potatoes are tender, 40 to 45 minutes. (Total cook time is dependent on the depth of the casserole and the thickness of the potato slices.) Remove from the oven.
