Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

INGREDIENTS

• 4 russet potatoes peeled and sliced into ¼-inch slices (about 2 pounds)
• 1 yellow onion sliced into rings
• 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• 2 cup whole milk room temperature
• 1 ½ cup mild cheddar cheese shredded
• salt and pepper to taste

INSTRUCTIONS

1. 1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly spray an 8x8-inch casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray.
2. 2 Arrange the potatoes and onions in the prepared baking dish, staggering potato and then onion.
3. 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.
4. 4 Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted and smooth, about 30-60 seconds.
5. 5 Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
6. 6 Bake for 85-90 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
7. 7 For a crisp topping, change the oven setting to broil after the potatoes are baked. Broil until golden brown.
8. 8 Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve.
