  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour

    • Gradually add cold milk, whisking continuously.
    • Season with salt and cayenne pepper.
    • On low heat, cook the sauce until it’s smooth and boiling. Occasionally whisk.
    • Reduce the heat and mix in the cheddar cheese until melted.
  2. Layer the Potatoes:
    • In a greased one-quart casserole dish, layer half of the sliced potatoes.
    • Pour half of the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
    • Repeat with the remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.
  3. Final Touches:
    • Sprinkle the additional 1⁄2 cup of cheese on top.
    • Add a dash of paprika for a pop of color.
