Preparation

Step 1

Melt 1/4 c butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour, and cook, whisking constantly, 2 to 3 minutes or until flour is lightly browned.

Whisk milk into butter mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 6 minutes or until thickened. Stir in Cheddar cheese, green onions, salt and pepper, stirring until cheese melts.

Spread 1/4 c cheese sauce evenly in a lightly greased 13x9 inch baking dish. Layer half of the potatoes over sauce; top with half of remaining cheese sauce. Repeat with remaining potatoes and cheese sauce.

Bake at 325º, covered 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Stir together breadcrumbs, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese; spread evenly over potatoes.

Bake uncovered 20 to 30 more minutes or until potatoes are tender.
