Buzz Gratin Potatoes.
Hiya. Buzz here. Just so you know, this is probably the best Au Gratin Potato recipe in the entire world! Let me know what you think. It is wonderfully creamy and cheesy and, well, au gratin-y. Oh and it’s easy, too!
5 Large baking potatoes - sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 large onion - sliced into rings
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Cups milk
2 Cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 1 quart casserole dish.
2. Layer 1/2 the potatoes into the bottom of the buttered casserole dish. Top with onions (trust me - it’s delicious) and then cover with remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
3. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened. Stir in cheese and continue stirring until all cheese is melted. Pour cheese sauce over potatoes and cover casserole with aluminum foil.
4. Bake 1 1/2 hours.
Mmmm. I’m remembering now how much I love this and I just may have to say ‘Nuts to Atkins’ today and make this! You should do the same.
Enjoy.
