How to Make Au Gratin Potato's

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Scrub potatoes thoroughly, halve them lengthwise, and arrange them in a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until a roux forms.
Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and stir in cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using) until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the potatoes.
Bake for 60-75 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown and bubbly.
Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
