White Cheddar-Potato Gratin

• 2 pounds baking potato -- (about 5 cups) peeled and cut into
• 1/4-inch-thick slices
• 1 garlic clove -- minced
• 1 (1-ounce) slice rye bread
• 1 tablespoon butter or stick margarine -- melted
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups 1% low-fat milk
• 1 cup white Cheddar cheese -- (4-ounces) shredded
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper
• Cooking spray

Place potato and garlic in a saucepan, and cover with water. Bring to a boil, and cook 8 minutes or just until tender. Drain.

While the potatoes are cooking, place bread in food processor; pulse 10 times or until coarse crumbs form to measure 1/2 cup. Combine the breadcrumbs and butter, and set aside.

Preheat oven to 350º.

Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup; level with a knife. Place flour in a medium, heavy saucepan; gradually add milk, stirring with a whisk until blended. Place over medium heat; cook until thick (about 8 minutes), stirring constantly. Remove from heat; add cheese, salt, and pepper, and stir until melted. Arrange potato and garlic in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with
cooking spray. Pour cheese sauce over potatoes. Sprinkle with breadcrumb mixture. Bake at 350º for 35 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand 10 minutes.
