Au Gratin Potatoes

  
   
   
   
Ingredients -  
   

4 pounds Potatoes (about 12 medium potatoes)
6 tablespoons Butter
6 tablespoons Flour
3 1/2 cups Whole Milk
1 1/2 teaspoons Salt
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
2 cups grated Gruyere Cheese

  
   
Preparation:  
   

Preheat oven to 350°F. Wash, peel and thinly slice potatoes. Put them in a bowl and cover with cold water.

In a saucepan over low heat melt butter. Add flour gradually to make a roux, stirring constantly. Gradually add milk, making sure that the sauce does not become lumpy. Add salt and pepper and increase heat to medium, stirring until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).

Remove from heat. Drain and then layer the potatoes in a 9 x 13-inch glass baking dish, covering each layer with sauce.

Sprinkle grated cheese over the top of the casserole. Bake, loosely covered with foil, for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an additional 45 minutes. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
