Black Angus Potatoes Au Gratin
From Stuart Anderson’s Black Angus restaurant in Yakima, Washington. The old-fashioned goodness of Grandma’s cooking.
1 1/2 pounds unpeeled potatoes
Salt
2 tablespoons ( 1/4 stick) butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 1/2 cups hot milk
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 garlic clove, minced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Shredded cheddar, grated Parmesan and paprika for topping
Boil potatoes in lightly salted water until tender. Cool, peel, and cut
into 1/4-inch slices. Layer slices in buttered casserole.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Melt butter in medium saucepan, and stir in
flour until mixture is smooth. Gradually add hot milk, stirring constantly.
Stir in cheeses and garlic, and continue cooking until cheese is melted.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour over potatoes, and sprinkle with cheddar, Parmesan and paprika. Bake
20 minutes. Place under broiler just until brown and bubbly. Serve immediately.
