Monterey Jack Scalloped Potatoes
Peel and slice about 4 lbs. or so of Yellow potatoes, (I use
Yukon Gold when I can get them). Yellow potatoes have a
sweeter taste than white and they make great potato salad,
too. Put into a large pot of salted water and bring to a
boil. Let cook until tender then drain.
In another medium size sauce pan, melt 3/4 of a stick of
butter. Add 3 tablespoons of white flour and stir, then
slowly add about 2 cups or so of milk. Allow to boil so that
it will thicken and stir continuously and add 1 tsp.
salt.
Next slice up a brick of Kraft Monterey Jack cheese and add to
the sauce on a lower setting of heat now so that it will melt
slowly then remove from stove.
In a large casserole dish layer the potatoes first then sauce
then potatoes and sauce, (2 layers). Pour about 1/2 cup milk
over the potatoes then sprinkle some shredded Mexican cheese(4
cheese but not seasoned) on top and bake for about 45 min. on 400
degrees. Top will be crispy looking when done yet creamy on
the inside.
This dish goes great with Easter ham or just about
anything. Real comfort food!
ENJOY!
