- 6 pcs potatoes

Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent.
Step 3

Gradually whisk in the milk, ensuring there are no lumps. Continue to cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens.

Remove from heat and stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and smooth. Add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

In a greased 9x13 inch baking dish, layer half of the potato slices. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
Step 7
Add the remaining potato slices on top and pour the rest of the cheese sauce over them.
Step 8
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
Step 9
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
Step 10
Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
