Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • Peel the potatoes and slice into 1/8 inch or less thick slices. Cover with cold water and set
    aside while preparing the sauce.
  • Heat the butter until hot in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they
    are tender and starting to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the flour and salt; cook for about 1 minute.
  • Gradually stir in the milk. Continue to stir as the mixture cooks. Cook until the mixture
    just comes to a boil and has thickened.
  • Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until it is all melted.
  • Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of a 3 quart baking dish.
  • Spread have of the sauce over the potatoes and then sprinkle with half of the remaining
    shredded cheese.
  • Layer the other half of the potatoes on top of the sauce and cheese.
  • Spread the remaining sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the
    sauce.
  • Sprinkle the top with paprika.

  • Cover the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 1/2 hours
    covered.
  • Remove the foil and test for doneness. If the potatoes are close to being done when poked
    with a fork, leave the foil off and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes uncovered.
  • If the potatoes do not feel close to being done, cover them back up and bake for another 15
    to 20 minutes before baking uncovered.
