Au Gratin Potatoes

[Dee]

For Cat!

 

4 cups diced potatoes

2 cups chopped onions

5 tablespoons butter

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

2 1/2 cups milk

2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

2 cups cheddar cheese, grated

1/2 cup plain bread crumbs

4 tablespoons butter

 

I cook my potatoes and onions in lightly salted water until they are tender. Then I drain them and let them sit while I make a white sauce.

 

Recipe for White Sauce for Potatoes:

Melt butter in a sauce pan

Add the flour stirring until blended

then slowly stir in milk, pepper, salt and Worcestershire Sauce and stir until thick.

 

Next take your potatoes and onions and add half of them to a a 3 quart buttered baking dish and cover them with half the cheddar cheese.

Add the rest of your potatoes and onions then pour the white sauce over the potato mixture.

Sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top of the potato mixture and then sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top of the cheese. Dot the top with butter or margarine and its ready to bake in the oven at 350 degrees for about 12 to 15 minutes.

I love the crunchy cheesy top on this dish along with the rich cheese flavor.

Its a big hit in the reci house.

Sometimes when I have leftovers I toss them in this dish and have a casserole. You can use any kind of left over meat and even toss in a can of veggies.
