Ingredients:
- 4 cups thinly sliced potatoes
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 dash cayenne pepper
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese

Directions:
- In a small saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter and blend in 3 tablespoons of flour. Allow it to sit for a minute.
- Add all of the cold milk, stirring with a whisk. Season the mixture with 1 teaspoon of salt and a dash of cayenne pepper. Cook the sauce on low heat until it becomes smooth and starts to boil, stirring occasionally with a whisk.
- Reduce the heat and stir in 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese until it’s well incorporated.
- Place half of the thinly sliced potatoes in a lightly greased one-quart casserole dish.
- Pour half of the cheese sauce over the first layer of potatoes.
- Repeat the process with a second layer of potatoes and cheese sauce.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheese on top for an extra cheesy touch.
- Optionally, sprinkle some paprika on top for color and flavor.
- Bake the casserole uncovered for about 1 hour at 350°F (175°C).
- Once the top is golden brown and the potatoes are tender, remove from the oven.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then serve your delicious Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes Supreme
