Scalloped Potatoes

I just made scalloped potatoes for the first time tonight. I was a little nervous about it, but it was surprisingly easy. slicing the potatoes took a bit, but after that it was a breeze. i topped part of it with grated cheese to test it. it was good with or without it so if you're feeling the cheese then go for it.

Ingredients:
3 T butter
3 T all purpose flour
2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
3 c. milk
6 c. of thinly sliced potatoes

Directions:
wash peel and slice the potatoes, then set aside.

In a large sauce pan melt the butter over medium low heat

stir in flour till smooth and bubbly. add salt and pepper

gradually add the milk, stirring with a whisk till thick and bubbly.

add potatoes to sauce; cover and simmer for eight minutes

transfer mixture to a greased 12 x 8 in. baking dish.

bake uncovered at 375° F for 45 minutes, or untill potatoes are tender.
