CREAMY AU GRATIN POTATOES

Creamy Au Gratin Potatoes image

This is my husband's favorite dish, and he considers it a special occasion every time I make it. The creamy cheese sauce and the tender potatoes in this classic French dish combine to make a deliciously addictive experience. It's a great side dish with a roast pork loin or beef tenderloin. Add a green salad and French bread, and you have found the magic path to a man's heart. To avoid lumps in your sauce, add the milk just a little at a time as you stir the flour and butter. Experiment with different cheeses for variety.

Ingredients

4 russet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch slices
1 onion, sliced into rings

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
