By tschnet1

Ingredients

• 3 medium baking potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp butter
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 c low-fat milk (1%)
• 1 tsp ground mustard
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground white pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 4 oz cream cheese, cubed (you can substitute with low-fat cream cheese)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350F

Grease a 1 1/2 qt casserole dish; set aside.

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt butter. Stir in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Add milk, and whisk to combine. Stir in mustard, salt, pepper and thyme. Cook until milk thickens (it will be the consistency of a cream soup), stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low, and stir in cheese. Place half of the sliced potatoes in prepared casserole dish. Pour 2/3 cup of cheese sauce over potatoes. Repeat layer with remaining potatoes. Dot cream cheese over potatoes. Cover cream cheese and potatoes with remaining cheese sauce.

Cover and bake for 60 minutes.
