Scalloped Potatoes

Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes 

from Better Homes and Gardens cookbook

I use a lot of potatoes - light on the sauce.  10 servings

prep:  25 min.  Bake: 70 min.   350 degrees

1 C chopped onion (1 large) 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
4 T butter 
4 T flour
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp salt 

2 1/2  C milk (2% or whole) 
1 1/2 C shredded white cheddar cheese 

6-8  medium potatoes - Yukon Gold (not baking potatoes) peeled and thinly sliced.  

1.  Grease a casserole dish.  For sauce, cook onion and garlic in butter until tender but not brown.  Stir in flour, pepper, salt.  Add milk, whisk over medium heat until thickened and bubbly.  Add shredded cheese, stir.  

2.  Thinly slice potatoes.  Place into casserole in layers, alternating with the sauce.  End with sauce. 

3.  Bake, COVERED, 40 min.  Uncover and bake another 30 minutes or more til potatoes are tender (check with fork).  Makes 8 - 10 servings.  

Great with ham, at Christmas time!
