Baked Au Gratin Potatoes
These delicious baked au gratin potatoes are one of my dad's speciality recipes! Creamy and delicious, these cheesy potatoes are great along any protein.
Ingredients
- 3 lbs potatoes peeled and thinly sliced into rounds
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 8 ounces sharp shredded cheese cheddar or gruyere
- 3 cups milk
- 1/3 cup shredded parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a 13 x 9 inch baking dish, layer the sliced potatoes so they are in 3 rows.
- In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes stirring until the flour and butter have thickened. Add 2 cups of the milk and the cheddar cheese. Stir for 4 or 5 minutes until cheese has melted. Add the remaining one cup of the milk, and stir for another minute.
- Pour the milk and cheddar mixture over the potatoes. Add the shredded parmesan cheese and paprika on top.
- Place baking dish in the oven and bake for 45 minutes or until potatoes are cooked through. To test if potatoes are cooked, pierce their centers with a fork. Then broil for an additional 2 or 3 minutes to brown the top.
