Scalloped Potatoes

I hesitated to post this recipe because I usually guess at the amounts for some of the ingredients. But... I don't think you can really mess it up.

Peel and slice potatoes. (depending on size, around 2 per person.)
3 T butter
1/4 C flour
1 t salt
1/2 t pepper
3 C milk
Cheese - I use a combination of American and cheddar. Generally about 8 slices of American and about 8 oz of shredded cheddar.

Using medium heat, melt the butter in a sauce pan and incorporate the flour with a wisk. Add salt and pepper. Add milk, then cheese. Continue to stir using a whisk until all the cheese is melted and starts to thicken.

Place sliced potatoes in a casserole dish. Pour sauce over them. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350ยบ for 1 hour. Uncover and continue baking for another 30 minutes.
