Cheesy Gratin Potatoes

(From Our January 2016 Newsletter - Grandma C.)

Ingredients

• 4-5 cups fresh potatoes, peeled and sliced thin


• 1 cup of finely shredded four-cheese blend


• 3½ TBSP butter


• 3½ TBSP flour


• ½ cup sliced scallions


• 1 tsp dried parsley flakes


• 2 cups milk, either whole milk or 2%


• salt and pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In a dutch oven, melt butter.  Stir in the flour and add milk slowly, stirring to blend.

Add dried parsley and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly.  Mixture will thicken after about 2-3 minutes.

Remove from heat and add the cheese blend.  Stir to mix.  Add salt and pepper.

Once cheese is melted, fold in potatoes and scallions.  Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish.

Bake covered for one hour.  Uncover and bake an additional 30 minutes or until potatoes are tender.  Let stand 5 minutes before serving.

*Oven temperatures vary!  Be sure to test potatoes with a fork to make sure they are tender before you remove them from the oven.  Recipe will serve 6.
