POTATOES AU GRATIN (SALLYE) image

This is my take on a classic dish. I find using the Mexican cheese gives it a little creamier, richer flavor than using cheddar only.

8 ounce(s) cheddar cheese, grated

  • Pour melted butter into 9" x 13" baking dish and coat inside surfaces with it Remove potatoes from microwave and pour into buttered baking dish Sprinkle flour, salt and pepper over potatoes and mix to coat potatoes evenly
