Decidedly un-vegan. The husband was in charge of this one and firm on using real dairy. Could easily swap in vegan substitutes or maybe use a version of a white bean queso recipe to replicate the cheese sauce and sneak some more protein into your life. That's an experiment for another day though.
Serves: 6-8 | Time: 1+ hr
Ingredients
4 cups thinly sliced #potatoes
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp flour
1.5 cups milk
1 tsp salt
1 dash cayenne
1.5 cups grated cheese
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Grease a 1.5 quart baking dish (8x8 or 9x9 inch baking dish will work).
In a small sauce pan, melt butter and stir in flour. Whisk in the milk very slowly and season with salt and cayenne.
Cook sauce on low until smooth and boiling, stirring occasionally with a whisk. Reduce heat and stir in 1 cup of the cheddar cheese.
Place a half of the sliced potatoes in the baking dish. Pour half of cheese sauce over potatoes. Repeat with second layer of potatoes and cheese sauce.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheddar cheese on top. Top with some paprika for color.
Bake uncovered for about 1 hour at 350°F or longer until the potatoes are fork tender.
