Instructions

  • Grease a deep sided 8 inch square baking dish or equivalent size. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • In a medium sauce pan set over meidium heat, add the olive oil and heat for a minute. Add the onions and give a good stir. Cook for about 5 - 8 minute until soft and light golden. Remove from heat and set asdie.
  • In a medium sauce pan set over high heat melt the butter. Add the garlic once the butter has melted and is sizzling. Give a good stir and add all the flour at once. Quickly whisk for about a minute until it forms a paste. Gradually start pouring in the milk, about 1/2 cup/60 ml at a time. Continue to whisk and add milk as you go. This process will take anywhere between 5-8 minutes. You are looking for a smooth thick sauce. Once the sauce has reached the desired texture, remove from heat season with salt and pepper, oregano and add chopped parsley. Set aside.
  • Add about a 1/3 of your potatoes to your baking dish and top with about 1/2 of the onions. Repeat two more layers of potatoes and onions. Evenly pour over the sauce. Cover and bake for about 1 hour. Remove from oven after an hour, remove cover and return to oven to continue baking for another 1/2 hour or so. When done the potatoes should be golden on the top and tender inside. Leave for about 5 - 10 minutes to cool before serving.
