AU GRATIN POTATOES

• 1 Tbsp butter or margarine
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1 Tbsp flour
• 2 cups fat-free milk
• 2 lbs potatoes, thinly sliced
• 1 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper

Heat oven to 375. Coat a 2 quart baking dish with cooking spray. Melt butter in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion begins to brown (about 5 minutes). Stir in flour. Add milk slowly, stirring. Add potatoes, stir to mix. Bring to a boil. Stir in 3/4 cup of the cheese, salt and pepper. Pour mixture into the baking dish and spread out. Bake
for 1 hour uncovered. Cover and bake until potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes more. Change oven temperature to broil. Sprinkle remaining cheese over potatoes and broil 6 inches from the heating element until the cheese is golden brown (about 1 - 2 minutes). Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
