I’ve always been a fan of those inexpensive boxed cheesy potatoes. Even though they are quick and easy, it’s a little more appealing to use fresh potatoes and shredded cheese. This recipe puts the boxed versions to shame! It’s creamy, delicious and extra cheesy.

Ingredients:
¼ cup butter
¼ cup flour
3 cups milk
10 oz sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
1 tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper
4 lbs Idaho potatoes, skin-on, thinly sliced
Directions:
1. Melt butter in large sauté pan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook (stirring constantly) 3 minutes, or until flour is lightly browned.
2. Whisk milk into sauté pan and bring to a boil (continue to watch closely and stir). Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened.
3. Stir in shredded cheese, salt and pepper. Stir until cheese melts.
