Potato and Sausage Gratin

Ingredients

2 unsalted butter

1 onion (finely chopped)

2 all-purpose flour

3 milk

salt and pepper to taste

3 russet potatoes (scrubbed and thinly sliced)

2 (cut into 1/4-inch rounds)

1/2 toasted bread crumbs

This is a great buffet or pot luck dish. It can be assembled a day in advance, refrigerated and baked the next day.

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375º
  2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium high heat. Add the onion and sauté 3-4 minutes, until translucent. Add the flour and cook, stirring, 2 minutes more. Add the milk and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and continue to cook 3-5 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken. Heavily season with salt and pepper.
  3. In a buttered baking dish, layer the potatoes, sausage and milk mixture. Top with the toasted breadcrumbs and bake for 30-45 minutes until the top is browned and bubbly. Allow to cool 10 minutes before serving.
