Prep:20 mins. Cook:60 mins. Total:80 mins. Serving Size: 6
Instructions (scalloped potatoes):
Preheat your oven to 350°F, Lightly grease a one-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, blend in the flour and let it sit for a minute to cook out the raw flour taste
Gradually add all of the cold milk, stirring constantly with a whisk to prevent lumps. Season with salt and a dash of cayenne pepper
Cook the sauce on low heat until it becomes smooth and starts to boil, stirring occasionally
Once the sauce is boiling, reduce the heat and stir in 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese until melted and well combined
Place half of the sliced potatoes in the prepared casserole dish
Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes
Repeat with a second layer of potatoes and the remaining cheese sauce
Sprinkle the additional 1/2 cup of grated cheese on top. For a touch of color, you can sprinkle some paprika on top as well.
Bake the scalloped potatoes uncovered in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, or until the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
