1
Preheat the oven to 400 F. Spray a large baking dish with non stick spray. I used an oval baker, roughly 9x13.
2
Thinly slice potatoes, and arrange them in the bottom of the baking dish.
3
In a liquid measuring cup combine milk and cream. Whisk in flour, garlic, salt and pepper. Pour this over the potatoes. Spread diced butter over the top of the mixture.
4
Cover the dish with a sheet of foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then uncover it and bake for 20 more minutes. Sprinkle with cheese, and return to oven until the cheese is melted.
5
Garnish with green onions to serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
