Au Gratin Potatoes
1 onion, chopped
2 tbl. butter or margarine
1 tbl. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 cups half-and-half or 2 cups milk with 2 tbl. margarine
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (sharp is preferred)
6 potatoes, sliced
1/4 cup bread crumbs
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cook onions in margarine until tender. Add in the flour, salt and pepper. Stir until smooth. Add half-and-half and 1-1/2 cup of the cheese. Heat to a boil.
Place potatoes in a 1-1/2 quart baking dish. Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes. Bake uncovered for about 1-1/2 hours, until top is brown.
Mix remaining cheese and the bread crumbs. Place over the cooked potatoes. Place in the oven and set temp to 550/broil. Broil until crusty and light brown, about 4 minutes.
