Emeril's Scalloped Potatoes
1 t. plus 1/4 C. unsalted butter
2 1/2 lbs. red potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
1 1/2 t. salt
1 t. freshly ground white pepper
2 T. plus 2 t. bleached all-purpose flour
1/2 lb. sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1/2 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
2 C. milk
Preheat the oven to 350�F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with 1 tsp. of the
butter.
Put the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and add the salt and white pepper. Toss
to season evenly. Arrange a layer of potatoes on the bottom of the prepared
baking dish and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of the flour. Dot with a tablespoon of
the remaining butter, then sprinkle with 1/2 cup of each of the cheeses. Repeat
the process until all the potatoes, butter, flour and cheeses are used, ending
with the cheeses. Pour in the milk.
Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and serve
hot.
