3 to 4 medium potatoes
¼ plus ¼ cup (1 stick) butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons Cheez Whiz
½ cup grated cheddar cheese
1 small onion, sliced
Salt and pepper
Wash, peel, and slice the potatoes into ¼-inch rounds. In a medium-size stockpot over medium heat cover the potatoes with water and cook until just tender, being careful not to overcook them. In a small saucepan combine ¼ cup of the butter with the flour and milk. Cook over medium heat until the mixture begins to thicken. Add the Cheez Whiz and cheddar cheese to the saucepan and stir until the cheese is melted and well mixed. In a small skillet sauté the onion in the remaining ¼ cup butter and add it to the cheese mixture. Add the salt and pepper to taste. Preheat the oven to 350°. Place the potatoes in a 9 × 13 inch-casserole dish and pour the cheese mixture over the potatoes. Cook uncovered for 25 to 30 minutes.
