Ingredients

10 or 12 large white potatoes
3 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp all purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 c milk
2 c shredded cheddar cheese, extra sharp, divided

Steps:

1. Peel potatoes and slice into 1/8" slices. Place in greased Dutch oven.
2. In a large saucepan, melt butter. Add flour and stir until blended. Add the salt and pepper. Pour in milk, little by little, stirring constantly with a wire whisk.
3. Over medium-high heat, whisk constantly until mixture begins to thicken. When bubbles start to form, remove from heat and add 1-1/2 cups of the cheese. Pour over potatoes and mix thoroughly.
4. Bake in a pre-heated 350-degree oven, covered, for 1 hour. Remove lid, sprinkle 1/2 cup remaining cheese over the top of potatoes, and continue baking, uncovered, for 30 minutes more.
5. If you like, you may add buttered bread crumbs (about 3/4 cup) when you add the 1/2 cup of cheese.
