Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 cups Potatoes Thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons Butter For the roux
  • 3 tablespoons Flour For thickening
  • 1.5 cups Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 dash Cayenne pepper For seasoning
  • 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese Grated

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 1-quart casserole dish.
  2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour to form a roux and cook for about 1 minute.
  3. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture is smooth, thickened, and just starting to boil. Season with salt and a dash of cayenne pepper.
  4. Reduce the heat to low and stir in 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese until it is melted and smooth.
Assembly
  1. Layer half of the thinly sliced potatoes in the prepared dish, then pour half of the cheese sauce over them.
  2. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  3. Sprinkle with ½ cup of grated cheese and a light dusting of paprika.
Cooking
  1. Bake uncovered for about 1 hour, until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
  2. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use a mandoline slicer for even and thin potato slices. Consider adding a mix of cheeses or ingredients like cooked ham or vegetables for a twist. This dish can be made ahead of time and reheated when ready to serve. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator, or freeze for 2-3 months.
