The Recipe for Old-Fashioned Cheese Potatoes

• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 1/2 cups milk
• 1 1/2 cups shredded, processed American cheese (I used Wisconsin cheddar - hey, Wisconsin is in America, right?)
• 6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

Directions

1. In a saucepan, melt butter. Add the flour, salt and pepper; cook and stir until a thick paste forms. Gradually add milk. Cook and stir until the mixture begins to thicken. Add cheese; cook and stir until melted. Place potatoes in a greased 3-in. x 9-in. x 2-in baking dish. Pour sauce over potatoes. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
