  • 5 tablespoons butter or margarine, divided
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (4 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 5 cups sliced cooked peeled potatoes (about 5 medium)
  • 1/4 cup dry bread crumbs

In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons butter over low heat.  Stir in flour until smooth.  Gradually add milk; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened.  Remove from heat.  Stir in salt and cheeses until melted.  Add potatoes; stir gently to mix.  Place in a greased 2 quart baking dish.  Melt the remaining butter; toss with bread crumbs.  Sprinkle over potatoes.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes.  YIELD:  6-8 servings.
