How to Make SHARP CHEDDAR SCALLOPED POTATOES
- In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour, salt, mustard, and pepper until blended. Cook and stir 2-3 minutes or until lightly browned. Gradually whisk in cream. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly; cook and stir 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from heat.
- In a small bowl, combine cheeses. Layer a third of the potatoes, a third of the onions and 3/4 cup of the cheese mixture in a greased 3-qt. baking dish. Repeat layers twice. Pour sauce over top; sprinkle with remaining cheese.
