Ingredients

Method

• 6 T butter
• 2 T flour
• 2 cups milk
• 8 Woolworths Everyday medium potatoes, thinly sliced
• 2 onions, thinly sliced
• 1½ cups Woolworths oak-smoked Stanford cheese, grated (or any other smoked cheese)
• sea salt, to taste

Method

Ingredients

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C. Melt the butter in a saucepan, stirring occasionally, until it becomes golden brown and develops a nutty aroma.

2. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring continuously. Gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Continue stirring until the sauce thickens.

3. Stir in the grated cheese and season to taste. Remove from the heat.

4. Grease a cast-iron pan with butter, then arrange the potato and onions in the pan.

5. Cover with foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for a further 15–20 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and bubbling. Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
