Add onion, and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 6 minutes or until tender. Add flour, and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Whisk in milk, and cook, whisking frequently, for 8 to 10 minutes or until thickened and bubbly. Stir in cheeses and salt until melted and smooth. Arrange one-third of potatoes in bottom of prepared pan; top with one-third of cheese sauce. Repeat layers twice, and cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 2 1/2 hours. Uncover and bake 30 minutes more. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.

STUFFED NEW POTATOES

• 2. Using the scooped out potato placed in a bowl; mash well and combine with the cheese, butter and cream. Taste and add salt and pepper as needed. Blend until smooth. Spoon or pipe mixture into into the potato's. Garnish with a fine sprinkling of parsley. For a festive Holiday garnish add a tiny dollop of red caviar to the top of each potato.
