Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes
Prep Time: 30 Minutes Ready In: 2 Hours

"Thinly sliced potatoes and onion are layered in a creamy cheese sauce
creating the perfect au gratin potato recipe."

Ingredients:
4 Large (or 6 small), potatoes sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 Onion, sliced into rings
Salt and pepper to taste
3 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 Teaspoon salt
2 Cups milk
1 1/2 Cups shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). 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.
