Scalloped Potatoes

By ghudsontx

A great potato recipe... so easy and absolutely delicious. The left overs are just as good, maybe even better the next day. This is one of my favorite and most prepared recipes, from my 1971 Florence Junior Welfare League Cookbook.

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
