Cheese Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

Cheese Scalloped Potatoes Recipe

1 hour | 10 min prep

4 Servings

·         1/4 cup chopped onion

·         2 tablespoons butter

·         2 tablespoons flour

·         1 1/4 cups milk

·         1 cup grated cheddar cheese

·         salt and pepper

·         3 potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced, not rinsed

Preheat oven to 350°F Fry the onion in butter until soft, add flour and whisk in with butter for 2 minutes.

Then whisk in the milk and cook (on medium heat) until thick and bubbly.

Remove from heat and add 3/4 cup of cheese, stirring until melted; season with salt and pepper.

Layer half of potatoes in a small baking dish and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cover with half of sauce.

Layer remaining potato slices on top of sauce and season. Top with remaining sauce and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake, covered, for 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender. (sprinkle with a little parsley or paprika on top to add color, if desired)

Note:  I baked mine for nearly an hour, and it was perfect.

Note #2:  My latest “trick” - I grated the onions instead of chopping them.  You get a more even onion flavor, and there are no onion “bits” for the kids to either notice or complain about.  Eric was stuffing these into his mouth and telling me how good them were, and when I told him there were onions in them he barely even slowed down!  J
