Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 6 russet potatoes (thinly sliced, about 4 cups)
  • 3 Tablespoons butter
  • 3 Tablespoons flour
  • 1½ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • dash of cayenne pepper
  • 1½ cups grated sharp cheddar cheese (divided)
  • paprika

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a small sauce pan, melt butter over low heat.
  • Mix in the flour and stir until incorporated. Add the milk and stir well with a whisk.
  • Add salt and cayenne pepper for flavor. Continue to cook sauce on low heat until it boils, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Remove pan from heat and add 1 cup of cheese. Stir well until all the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
  • Spread half of the thinly sliced potatoes in an 9×9″ baking pan that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Repeat with the rest of the potatoes and cheese sauce and top with the remaining grated cheese.
  • Sprinkle paprika on top and bake uncovered for 1 hour.
