- 3 TLB Butter
- 3 TLB All Purpose Flour
- 3 cups Milk
- 1 tsp Salt
- 8 to 10 Potatoes pared 7 sliced thin
- 3 to 4 Slices of Bacon for on top
Instructions
- Make a white sauce of the first 5 ingredients.
- In a medium sauce pan place on medium heat, add the butter until it melts, then add the flour and cook on low for 1 minute. (this cooks out the flour taste, but do not brown, you are making a roux)
- While the roux is cooking, warm the milk in the microwave for about 1 and 1/2 minutes, just to take the chill off.
- After the flour butter mixture has cooked one minute, add the milk a little at a time mixing with a whisk. When the milk is all added take a spatula and make sure that the roux is not stuck on the sides.
- Heat while constantly whisking until hot, thick and bubble, about 10 minutes
- Peel and slice the potatoes.
- Cover the bottom of the casserole with sauce. Put 1/2 of the Potatoes next then some of the sauce and the remaining potatoes and the remaining sauce.
- Put the bacon to cover the top of the potatoes and shake black pepper lightly over the top.
- Cover and Bake at 350° for 1 Hour. Uncover and continue baking until top is browned.
