Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the Russet potatoes into even 1/8 inch slices.
  3. Layer half of the potato slices in the greased baking dish, overlapping slightly.
  4. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan and whisk in the flour to create a roux.
  5. Gradually pour in the milk while whisking to prevent lumps, and cook until thick.
  6. Stir in the salt, pepper, and garlic powder, then fold in the broccoli, peas, and carrots.
  7. Pour half of the creamy vegetable sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle 1 cup of cheese on top.
  8. Layer the remaining potato slices on top and pour the remaining cheese sauce over them.
  9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes, then uncover and add the rest of the cheese.
  10. Bake uncovered for another 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
  11. Let rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
