Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup pumpkin puree
  • 2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 3 russet potatoes large, cut into 1/4-inch thick slices, 33/4 cups 1/4-inch sliced potatoes

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter or grease a 1 quart oval casserole dish.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt butter over a medium heat. Add garlic, cook until soft and fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  • Whisk in flour. Cook 1 minute. Slowly whisk in milk. Add salt. Bring to a boil and reduce to a simmer until thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in pumpkin puree. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Layer half of the potatoes in the bottom of the prepared dish, pour half of the sauce over. Cover with half of the cheese. Repeat for next layer. Place on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Cook until potatoes are fork tender and top is golden brown, about 1 hr. If the top starts to get too brown, cover with foil and remove a few minutes before the potatoes are done cooking.
