5 Tablespoons butter or margarine
5 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
5 cups milk
6 cups thinly sliced potatoes our
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, parmesan, your choice!)
1/2 teaspoon parsley
1. In a large saucepan, saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until sauce is thickened.
(1.5 - confession: at this point, feel free to mix up about 3 Tablespoons of flour and 1/4 cup whipping cream and add it to the sauce. everything's better with a bit more whipping cream.)
2. Place half of potatoes in a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Sprinkle with half of cheese and parsley. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 60-70 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is lightly browned. Serve immediately.
