Recipe #36 Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes

I made this dish for my grandma's surprise party! I thought it was a prefect dish to bring because it feeds plenty of people and goes with everything!

INGREDIENTS:

4 medium potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices

1 onion, sliced into rings

salt and pepper to taste

3 tablespoons butter

3 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups milk

1 1/2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 1 quart casserole dish.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.

BON APPETIT!!!
