Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

I found a cart load of stuff I am super excited about and most of it was on clearance! Taking pictures of food isn’t easy, it’s actually quite challenging. It’s taken me years, and a lot of bad pictures, to figure out the little that I know! I’ve discovered it’s easier with the right tools. It’s kind of like creating ‘art!’

What You’ll Need

5 lbs Potatoes, Sliced & Peeled

1 large Onion, Halved & Sliced

3 tbsp Butter, Melted

3 tbsp Flour

1 quart Milk

1 lb Cheddar Cheese, Shredded

2 tsp Salt

How to Make Scalloped Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Peel & slice 5 lbs potatoes, set aside.

Halve & slice large onion.

Spray a 9 x 13 pan and intersperse the potatoes and onions.

In a large sauce pan, make a roux over medium heat by melting 3 tbsp butter then adding 3 tbsp flour. Mix until smooth.

Slowly add 1 quart milk while whisking into the mixture. Continue to whisk until the mixture starts to steam and slightly thicken. Add 1 lb shredded cheddar cheese and continue whisking until the cheese is melted. Mix in 2 tsp salt. Add more to taste if necessary.

Pour mixture over the potatoes.

Bake for 75 minutes.
