Equipment
- 1 round baking dish or 9 inch square
- 1 whisk
- 1 medium saucepan
Ingredients
- 7 medium Russet Potatoes
- 1 ½ Tablespoon margarine or butter
- 1 Tablespoon flour heaping
- 1 ½ cup milk 1%, 2% or whole
- 1 ½ cup cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- Grease a circle baking pan with cooking spray (or a 9 inch square pan).
- Wash, peel and slice potatoes using a mandoline.
- Place sliced potatoes in a pan of cold water with a pinch of salt if desired to keep from turning brown while you make the cheese sauce. Not necessary, your choice.
- In a medium saucepan, melt butter. Over low heat, whisk in flour until flour balls up.
- Slowly, over medium low heat, whisk in milk, whisking continuously until mixture has thickened. This will take a few minutes.
- Slowly, add cheese a little at a time and whisk in a figure 8 until all the cheese is melted and no clumps remain. Stir in salt and pepper.
- Add potatoes to the greased baking dish.
- Pour cheese over top and cover all potatoes with cheese mixture. Cover with lid or cover with foil.
- Bake at 400° for 45 minutes or until potatoes are cooked and soft.
- Let cool 5 minutes and serve.
