Ingredients:

• 900 grams (2 pounds) of large russet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch thick rounds
• 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

How to Make Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease an 8×8 inch casserole dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray.

In the greased baking dish, arrange the russet potato slices and onion rings, ensuring an even layer of both.

Over medium heat, melt the butter in a saucepan. Add in the flour and kosher salt, whisking continuously for about a minute.

Slowly pour in the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture thickens into a smooth sauce.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is creamy.

Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and onions, making sure they’re evenly coated.

Cover the casserole dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 90 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.

For a beautiful golden crust, remove the foil, switch the oven to broil, and broil the dish for a few minutes.

Season the Heavenly Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes with additional salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Notes:
