Scalloped Potatoes

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoons salt
2 cups milk
5 cups thin sliced potatoes
grated cheese (approximately 1/2 lb)

Melt butter in large pan. Add flour, salt and milk; cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Add potatoes and bring to a boil. Pour into a 8 x 8 casserole dish. Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle with cheese and continue baking until cheese melts.

NOTE: I've used cheddar cheese and a combination cheddar and American. Both work well, although I prefer just cheddar. You can experiment with other cheeses too. I put the cheese on before I bake it. It will get a little crusty and slightly brown on the edges but that's the way I like it. If you have a really hot oven it might get too brown so watch it carefully. Also, If you double this recipe for a 9 x 13 pan it will take almost a 5 lb bag of potatoes.
