Ingredients

  • 4 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and cook until it becomes translucent.
  3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and butter. Stir well to coat the onions.
  4. Slowly pour in the milk, stirring constantly. Cook until the sauce thickens and starts to bubble.
  5. Remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Arrange a layer of sliced potatoes in the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Pour a thin layer of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  7. Repeat the layers until all the potatoes and sauce are used, ending with a layer of sauce on top.
  8. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top layer.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes.
  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown.
  11. Let the scalloped potatoes cool for a few minutes before serving.
