Scalloped Potatoes

4-5 cups thinly sliced potatoes

3T butter

3T flour

1 1/2 cups of milk

1 tsp salt

1 dash cayenne pepper

1 cup grated cheese – we love using a cheddar/jack combo, but you can use just about anything.

1/2 cup grated cheese for top (optional, in my opinion)

paprika

How to make it:

In a small pan, melt butter, blend in flour. Let cook for a minute.

Add all of the cold milk, whisk. Season with salt and pepper.

Cook on low until smooth and boiling.

Reduce heat and stir in cheese.

Place 1/2 of the potatoes in a greased pan.

You’ll need a pan a little larger than a 9×13….I use a lasagna pan.

Pour 1/2 of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.

Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top

Top with paprika.

Bake 1 – 1 1/2 hours at 350 F.

 Serves 12-15 depending on your portion sizes.
