Gramma Timperley's Scalloped Potatoes - Holly Krause

1/3 cup chopped onion

5 tablespoons butter

5 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

5 cups whole milk

6 cups thinly sliced potatoes

Saute onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour, salt and pepper until blended. Gradually add milk. Bring to a boil and stir until sauce is thickened.

Place half of potatoes in a greased baking dish. Pour half of sauce over potatoes. Repeat layers. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 60-70 minutes or until potatoes are tender and top is lightly browned.

Sometimes I have put cubed ham between the layers, Gramma T used to fry minute steak, cube it and put it between the layers.

Cheddar sprinkled between the layers is good too!
