Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and coat an 8-inch square baking dish with non-stick spray.
  2. Peel and slice the russet potatoes into ¼ inch thick rounds. If using, slice the onion thinly and layer them with the potatoes.
  3. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat, whisk in flour and a pinch of salt until bubbly. Cook for about one minute.

  6. Pour the cheese sauce over the layered potatoes and onions, ensuring all layers are coated.
  7. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 90 minutes. Check tenderness with a fork.
  8. If desired, broil for an additional 3-5 minutes to achieve a golden top, watching closely.
