As soon as I got home from my parent's house, I had to try it out immediately! As fate would have it, I was invited to a potluck that very night, so scalloped potatoes it was.
I've made this recipe (from allrecipies.com) a few times now, and I've tweaked it for ultimate cheesy flavour.
Ingredients
- 4 russet potatoes, sliced very thin (around 1/8 inch wide)
- 1 onion, sliced even thinner than the potato
- salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups whole milk
- 2 cups shredded Old Cheddar cheese, divided
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Butter a 1 quart casserole dish.
Layer about half of the sliced potato in the prepared casserole dish, then layer all the sliced onion.
Layer the remaining potato and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, and whisk in the flour and salt. Continue whisking for about a minute.
While whisking, slowly add the milk. Cook until the sauce has thickened, approximately 5 minutes.
Turn off the burner heat, and add 1 1/2 cups of the cheese. Whisk until smooth.
Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes, and cover with aluminium foil. Bake in preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the potatoes are nearly done. Take the foil off for the last bit, and sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup cheese over it. Bake additional 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are completely soft, and cheese is browning and bubbly.
I made a double recipe for the potluck, and the time it took to prepare was cut in half! I can't wait to use my food processor for more recipes!!
Oh, and the scalloped potatoes were a big hit at the potluck :)
