Au Gratin Potatoes

These are so good!  It's not something I make often, but my family is happy when I do.  I've had the recipe for years and I have no idea where I got it. 

Ingredients:

• 2 T. butter
• 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes
• 1 medium yellow onion
• 1 T. flour
• 1 t. kosher salt
• 1 t. Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning
• 1 C. shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 C. whole milk

Directions:

1. Slice the potatoes and the onions into ¼ inch slices
2. In a heavy bottomed pot place the following ingredients in the pot in order
3. Dot 1 T. butter, ½ of the potatoes, ½ of the onions, ½ T. flour, ½ t. of salt, ½ t. of Creole seasoning, and ½ C. of cheese
4. Repeat the steps on line 3
5. Pour the milk over the mixture
6. Place the covered pot over medium-high heat until the milk begins to bubble
7. Reduce the heat to medium and cook for 20 minutes
8. Remove the cover and cook until the sauce thickens, about 10-15 minutes
9. Serve hot

Tips and Tricks:

• A mandolin is a great tool when slicing the potatoes and onions.
• Red potatoes can be used instead of Yukon Gold, but they usually need to cook a little longer.
