  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 2 hr 5 min
  • Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped (1/3 cup)
  • 3 tablespoons Gold Medal™ All Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 1/2 cups milk
  • 6 medium peeled or unpeeled potatoes, thinly sliced (6 cups)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 350°F. Grease 2-quart casserole with shortening or cooking spray.
  • 2
    In 2-quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Cook onion in butter about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.
  • 3
    Spread potatoes in casserole. Pour sauce over potatoes. Cut remaining 1 tablespoon butter into small pieces; sprinkle over potatoes.
  • 4
    Cover; bake 30 minutes. Uncover; bake 1 hour to 1 hour 10 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender. Let stand 5 to 10 minutes before serving (sauce thickens as it stands).

  • Don't forget to prep your pan. Grease or cooking spray it well as the sauce will brown and stick to the edges of the pan, making cleanup a chore.
  • Salt is an important player in this Scalloped Potatoes recipe; it perfectly balances the bland richness of the white sauce with the potatoes.
  • Using a mandoline slicer makes creating uniform slices of potato fast and easy.
