Equipment

  • Baking Pan (9x13 inch)
  • Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large potatoes, peeled, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 250-450 grams Cheddar cheese, cubed or shredded, (8-16 oz)
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • ¾ cup half and half cream, or milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour, plus water to make a smooth and creamy mixture
  • 1-2 sleeves butter crackers, crushed
  • butter, cut into small pieces, as needed

Instructions
 

  • In a pot, add the potatoes, onion, and salt. Add water to cover by 1 inch. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are soft but firm. Drain.
  • Add drained potatoes to a 9x13 baking dish, spread out evenly.
    Now preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F).
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the half and half, cheese, and black pepper. Place on low heat, stir often. I used 450 grams (1 lb) of cheese.
  • In a measuring cup, add the flour and just enough water to make a smooth and creamy mixture. Stir this into the cheese mixture and stir until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens.
  • Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes.
  • Top the potatoes with crushed butter crackers. Add pieces of butter over the top of the crackers. I skipped adding the butter, potatoes still turned out excellent.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
  • Serve as a side dish with your favorite meal, enjoy.
