How to Make Savory Potato Bake

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and scrub 2 lbs (900g) of medium-sized potatoes. Cook whole in a large pot of boiling salted water until easily pierced with a fork, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
  3. While potatoes cook, prepare the sauce: In the same pot, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and saute until tender and golden, about 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, mixing well to create a roux.
  5. Gradually whisk in 1 1/2 cups of water and 1 beef bouillon cube (or 1 teaspoon of beef bouillon granules), bringing to a boil.
  6. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  7. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 tablespoons of Dijon mustard and 1 tablespoon of prepared horseradish.
  8. Slice the cooled potatoes 1/2 inch thick.
  9. Butter a 9 x 9 inch baking dish. Layer the sliced potatoes in the dish.
  10. Pour the sauce evenly over the potatoes.
  11. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of bread crumbs.
  12. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly, and the top is golden brown.
