Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Peel, rinse, and thinly slice the russet potatoes. Place them closely together in a small, cast-iron skillet.
-
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the bacon grease. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
-
Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle in flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly until it forms a smooth paste (roux).
-
Slowly pour in milk, starting with about 1/4 cup. Whisk continuously and add more milk until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened.
-
Stir in sharp cheddar and Colby Jack cheeses until fully melted and the sauce is smooth. Add heavy cream for a nice and smooth cheese sauce.
-
Season the cheese sauce with Creole seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper to taste.
-
Pour the cheesy roux evenly over the sliced potatoes.
-
Bake uncovered on the middle rack for 1 hour, or until the top is golden and the potatoes are tender.
-
Remove from oven and sprinkle on the chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!
