How to Make Cheesy Potatoes With Onions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Butter a 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
- Peel and thinly slice 2 lbs russet potatoes. Cook the sliced potatoes in boiling salted water for 5 minutes. Drain well.
- Thinly slice 1 large yellow onion.
- Layer one-third of the partially-cooked potatoes in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with one-third of the onion slices and one-third of 1 lb shredded cheddar cheese.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper (to taste). Repeat layers two more times.
- Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top layer.
- In a medium heavy saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over low heat.
- Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and a pinch of cayenne pepper. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Slowly whisk in 1 ½ cups of milk. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth, bubbly, and thickened.
- Pour the creamy sauce evenly over the cheese and potato layers.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
