Au Gratin Potatoes

 

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 - 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups skim milk
• 2 lb thinly sliced potatoes
• 1 cup shredded low-fat cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Heat oven to 375 degrees.

Coat a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Melt butter in a large frypan over medium heat; add in onion and cook stirring occasionally until onion begins to brown (about 5 minutes).

Stir in flour, then slowly add in milk.

Add in potatoes; stir to mix; bring to a boil.

Stir in 3/4 cup cheese, salt and black pepper. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish then spread out.

Bake for 1 hour uncovered. After 1 hour cooking time cover with foil and continue to bake another 20 minutes more.

Change oven to broil heat. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over potatoes and broil 6-inches from heat until the cheese is golden (about 1-2 minutes).

Cool 5 minutes before serving.
