Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with butter.
Wash and slice the potatoes thinly, about 1/8 inch thick.
Layer the potatoes evenly in the greased baking dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt butter and whisk in flour to form a roux.
Gradually add milk and cream while whisking, then season.
Stir in mozzarella and cheddar cheese until completely melted.
Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil, add remaining sauce, and bake uncovered for 1 hour until golden brown.
Let cool for 10 minutes, then garnish with parsley or dill before serving.
