Step 1

Preheat the over to 375F and grease a 2-quart baking dish and set aside.

Step 2

Arrange the potatoes in rows, being sure they're not layered too tightly together, leaving just a tiny bit of space. Slanting the potatoes will allow for this. Add onions where there is empty space in between the potatoes and a few on top. Set aside to make the sauce.

Step 3

In a medium sauce pan, add the butter and allow to melt. Add the flour and whisk together, cooking for about 1 minute.

Step 4

Slowly add milk in small increments, constantly whisking until all the milk has been added and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Remove from heat and add spices and cheese. Stir until the cheese is completely melted.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the potatoes and onions, being sure to cover all potatoes.

Step 7

Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the foil after 45 minutes and sprinkle the parmesan and smoked gouda over the top of the potatoes. Place back in the oven for another 30-45 minutes. For an extra crispy top, broil for 1-2 minutes, but watch carefully as it can burn quickly!

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
