4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter More may be needed for greasing the pan.
1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour Use gluten-free flour if needed.
2 cups Whole Milk Can substitute with low-fat milk.
1 cup Vegetable Broth Use low-sodium for a healthier option.
4 cloves Garlic, grated Adjust quantity according to taste preference.
1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Leaves, chopped Dried thyme can be used in a pinch.
2 teaspoons Sea Salt Adjust based on dietary needs.
1/2 teaspoon Freshly Ground Black Pepper White pepper can be a milder alternative.

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
In a skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour until smooth, then gradually add 2 cups of whole milk and 1 cup of vegetable broth, stirring until thickened for 2-3 minutes. Add garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Layer half of the sliced potatoes in the greased dish. Top with half the onions, half the creamy sauce, and 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese.
Add the remaining sliced potatoes, followed by the rest of the onions and sauce. Finish with 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese on top.
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and continue baking for an additional 35-40 minutes until the top is golden brown and potatoes are tender.
Allow to rest for 20 minutes before serving to let the layers firm up.

Grease the baking dish generously and allow for variations in cheese for personalized flavors.
