How to Make Au Gratin Scalloped Potatoes Onions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  4. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
  5. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of cracked black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1 clove of minced garlic. Set aside.
  6. Thinly slice 3 medium potatoes (about 2 pounds) and 2 medium sweet onions. Separate the onion rings.
  7. Layer 1/3 of the potato slices, 1/2 of the onion rings, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese in the prepared baking dish.
  8. Repeat layers once more: 1/3 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the onions, 1 cup of cheese.
  9. Top with the remaining 1/3 of the potato slices.
  10. Pour the cream sauce evenly over the potatoes.
  11. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of bread crumbs evenly over the top.
  12. Dot with 1 tablespoon of melted butter.
