Southern Living, December 2004






List of Ingredients



• ¼ cup butter or margarine
  
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  
• 3 cups milk
  
• 1 (10-ounce) block Cheddar cheese, shredded
  
• ½ cup thinly sliced green onions
  
• 1 tsp salt
  
• ¼ tsp pepper
  
• 4 pounds potatoes, thinly sliced
  
• 1½ cups soft breadcrumbs
  
• ¼ cup butter or margarine, melted
  
• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  






Instructions



1. Melt ¼ cup butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook, whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until flour is lightly browned. Whisk milk into butter mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 6 minutes or until thickened. Stir in Cheddar cheese and next 3 ingredients, stirring until cheese melts.
   
   
2. Spread ¼ cup cheese sauce evenly in a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes over the sauce; top with half of the remaining cheese sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
   
   
3. Bake at 325° F, covered, 1½ to 2 hours. Stir together breadcrumbs, melted butter and Parmesan cheese; spread evenly over potatoes. Bake, uncovered, 20 to 30 more minutes or until potatoes are tender.
   
   Makes 8 to 10 servings.
