           Favorite standby...one of 
           The things that EVERYONE in 
           The family 
           Loved 
  
  3 Tbsp butter 2 Tbsp flour 1 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 3 c milk 6 mdm 
  potatoes, pared and thinly sliced (6 c) 2 Tbsp chopped onion 
   
  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Butter a 2 qt casserole.  Make a basic white 
  sauce of butter, flour, salt, pepper & milk. Place half the potatoes in 
  casserole.  Cover with half the onion and half the sauce. Repeat layers. 
  Cover and bake about an hour. (I like to cook it a bit longer, about 1 hour 
  and 15 minutes before uncovering it.) Test to make sure potatoes are 
  almost, but not quite, fork tender. Uncover and bake 30 minutes longer. 
   
  Left over cooked ham layered in the middle makes it almost a one dish meal, 
  and is a good addition...tho I usually serve this with ham to begin with. 
   
  Serves 4-6 (the recipe says...I say 4 max!)
