Method

Peel potatoes. Slice thinly and keep in water until ready to use. In large saucepan melt butter. Stir in flour. Add heavy whipping cream and milk; cook and stir until thickened and smooth. Stir in (1 tsp) salt and (1/2 tsp) pepper (or to taste), and Velveeta cubes until melted. Remove from heat. Spray a 9x13" baking dish with PAM. Drain potatoes; place about half of them in baking dish. Sprinkle half the onions and 1 cup cheddar cheese over potatoes. Pour one-third of the milk-Velveeta mixture over this. Repeat second layer with potatoes-onions-salt & pepper and cheddar cheese. Cover with remaining Velveeta mixture. Tent a piece of tin foil sprayed with PAM over the middle section of the potatoes. Bake at 350 degrees about 1 1/2 hrs. Top with parmesan cheese and bake another 20-30 min. until potatoes are tender.

 

Notes: To bake this faster you can boil the potato slices to get them slightly tender, and then decrease the baking times. This forms a little crust of cheese on the top and is soft and tender inside.

 

Number of Servings: 8-10
