    2 lbs (1 kg) Yukon gold potatoes, sliced thin

    2 cups (500 mL) whole red lentils, cooked and drained well

    ½ cup (125 mL) unsalted butter

    ½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour

    3 cups (750 mL) milk

    2 tsp (10 mL) salt

    2 tsp (10 mL) paprika

    1 tsp (5 mL) cayenne

    4 cups (1 L) cheddar cheese, grated

    1 cup (250 mL) gruyere cheese, grated


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350⁰F (180⁰C). Grease a half hotel pan.
  2. In a small pot, melt butter and stir in flour. Whisk in milk and season with salt, paprika, and cayenne.
  3. Cook sauce on low until smooth and boiling, stirring occasionally with a whisk.
  4. Reduce heat and stir in half of the cheddar cheese and all of the gruyere.

  6. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top. Top with a few shakes of paprika for color.
  7. Bake uncovered for approximately 1 hour or until the potatoes are fork tender.
