Directions
-
Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
-
Peel the Russet potatoes and slice them thinly, either by hand using a sharp knife or with a mandoline slicer.
-
Place the sliced potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5-7 minutes until just tender but not falling apart. Drain well.
-
Arrange the par-boiled potato slices in a single layer in a large greased casserole or baking dish.
-
Pour equal parts milk and half-and-half over the potatoes until they are just covered by the liquid.
-
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
-
While the potatoes bake, melt butter or margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely diced onion and green pepper.
-
Sauté the vegetables until they are soft and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
-
Remove the potato dish from the oven. Stir in the sautéed vegetable mixture, Parmesan cheese, soft Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
-
Sprinkle the grated Cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
-
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned on top.
-
Let stand for 5 minutes before serving to allow the sauce to set slightly.
