Plenty of cheese and a creamy sauce perk up boring potatoes.

Ingredients

  • 4 russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 onion, sliced thinly into rings
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 Tbs. butter
  • 3 Tbs. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 2 C. milk
  • 1 1/2 C. shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F. Butter a 1 quart casserole dish. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes into bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil. Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.

  • Very delicious. I added some frozen veggies on top of the onions and some more shredded cheese on top of the potatoes and had it as a main course.
