AUNT CLARA'S CHEESE POTATOES image

Mother didn't make these quite as often as she made scalloped or mashed or fried, but she made them occasionally, usually with some kind of ham. And she always told the family joke about her Aunt Clara who, when asked to bring cheese potatoes to a family gathering, came in lugging a 5-lb. bag of potatoes and a block of cheddar...

Categories     Potatoes

Time 1h50m

Number Of Ingredients 7

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.

These potatoes are so easy to make and they are always a crowd-pleaser. I love that I can make them ahead of time and then just pop them in the oven when I'm ready to serve them.
