Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a medium-sized casserole dish.
Melt butter in a saucepan, add flour, then gradually whisk in milk, seasoning with salt. Stir until thickened, then add cheese.
Wash, peel, and slice potatoes into 1/8-inch thick rounds.
Layer one-third of the sliced potatoes in the casserole dish, season with salt and pepper, then pour one-third of the cheese sauce on top. Repeat twice more.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
Remove foil and bake uncovered for an additional hour, then broil for 3-4 minutes until golden.
Let the dish rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
