Au Gratin Potatoes

From 7th Ward in Pacific Beach comes the best and most fat laden recipes but once in awhile this is wonderful. Michael loves it! And so do I and it can be made the day before and baked just before serving (bake a little longer if starting cold though).

Boil 6 large baking potatoes

Make white sauce of:
4 T butter, 4 T grated onion
1 1/2 T flour, 1 1/2 t salt
1/2 t dry mustard
1/4 t pepper

Add 3 cups half and half or whole milk and cook until creamy.

Peel and dice potatoes while warm. Layer 1/2 potatoes in a 4 quart flat plan or dish with 1/2 cream sauce and 1 cup grated cheese. Repeat. Top with buttered bread crumbs and 2/3 cup parmesan cheese. Bake 30-45 minutes at 300 degrees or longer if it has been refrigerated.
