Source of Recipe

from JANIC412 at cdkitchen com


List of Ingredients

12 pounds potatoes
salt to taste
1 gallon white sauce (recipe follows)
2 pounds grated cheddar cheese
6 ounces buttered bread crumbs

for the white sauce:
1 gallon whole milk, warmed but not boiling
8 ounces flour, may need a little more
1 pound unsalted butter or margarine
1 tablespoon powdered mustard
1 1/2 tablespoons salt
ground pepper, optional

for the potatoes:
Peel and cube the potatoes, add salt to taste, boil until tender but not
overcooked. Drain well. Add the white sauce and the cheese. Mix well but
gently. Place in 2 pans, 12x20x2 inches. Sprinkle the bread crumbs over the top
of
the potatoes (extra grated cheese can also be sprinkled) bake at 400 degrees for about
25
minutes.

for the white sauce:
Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Remove from heat and add the flour;
stir
until smooth. Add salt and dry mustard. Add the hot milk gradually whisking
constantly. Cook and whisk until smooth and boiling. Boiling will thicken
the
sauce. This will take about 15 - 20 minutes.
Makes 30 servings.
(This recipe could feed 50 instead of the 30, of course,
portions are small so extra could probably be used.
Portions in the original recipe read 5 ounce servings.
