Ingredients

3-4 smaller red potatoes
medium sized onion

White Sauce

Thin consistency - 1TB margarine, 1TB flour, 1 cup milk
Medium consistency - 2TB margarine, 2TB flour, 1 cup milk
Thick consistency - 3-4TB margarine, 3-4TB flour, 1 cup milk

Instructions

I use the thin consistency and mix the margarine, flour, and milk in a pan until it boils. After it does, I add cheese until it is thick and yellow looking (about a cup of shredded cheese). Also add salt and pepper to taste.

I slice up the potatoes about 1/4" thick and boil about 5 minutes until they are about cooked. Then I layer them into a pan, potatoes, then sliced onion, then some sauce, then another layer of everything until what you cut up is all gone. Cover it all with foil and bake at about 375 for around 30-45 minutes. You can take off the foil the last 10 minutes to brown the top of the stuff.
