Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4-5 potatoes ((medium))
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 2-3 tablespoons freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • freshly chopped Italian parsley

Instruction

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Peel and thinly slice the potatoes, place in a bowl of cold water and let sit while making the white sauce. 
  • In a medium/large pot on low/medium heat melt the butter, add the flour and salt and whisk until smooth.  Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly until thickens, approximately 2-3 minutes.  Remove from heat.
  • Drain and towel dry the potato slices.
  • Place 2-3 tablespoon of white sauce on the bottom of baking pan**, add 1/3-1/2 of the potatoes and 1/3 of the white sauce continue for another 1-2 levels.
  • Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese if desired, and bake covered for 45 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.  Let sit 5 minutes before serving.  Sprinkle with chopped parsley if desired.  Enjoy!
  • **I used a medium baking pan (10x7 inches / 26x17 centimeters) and made 3 levels, you could use a larger pan and make only 2 layers if desired.
