Ingredients
6-8 large Yukon Gold Potatoes
1 stick butter
3 cups milk
4 TBS flour
Salt and Pepper to taste
Peel and slice potatoes (about 1/8-1/4 inch thick)
Make a white sauce
Melt one stick of butter in a stock pot. Turn off heat. Put 3/4 cup milk in a small bowl. Add four TBS flour ON TOP of milk. Whisk until flour is dissolved in milk. Slowly add milk and flour into melted butter while whisking. Heat butter, milk, and flour mixture on medium heat. Whisk and add the remaining milk. Heat until thickened.
Grease a 9x11 inch baking dish. Arrange the potatoes in the dish. Cover with hot white sauce. Stir sauce and potatoes until the potatoes are coated with sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Stir several times during baking. Lower the heat to 300 degrees and cook 15 minutes more or until potatoes are tender and flaking with a fork.
You may add thinly sliced ham and stir into potatoe mixture before baking.

Notes from Liz
I know butter is high in fat and calories but if you save it for where it makes a taste difference...it is worth it!
Margarine doesn't taste the same. Go for the butter!
