1) Peel and slice potatoes - I like them a little thicker so they don't fall apart when you cook them. 2) Add a couple of tbsp of salt to enough water to cover the potatoes in a non-stick stock pot;bring water to a boil; simmer gently until they are fork tender 3) While the potatoes are cooking, make the cheese sauce as follows 4) Melt butter in a large non-stick sauce pan over medium heat 5) Remove pan from heat and stir in flour 6) Return pan to heat and gradually stir in the milk - (stirring constantly while pouring milk a little at a time keeps the sauce from getting lumpy 7) Cook gently on medium to low medium (stirring often) until the sauce begins to thicken 8) Add cheese 9) Preheat over to 375 degrees and grease a large casserole dish 10) Place a layer of potatoes in the bottom of the dish and salt lightly 11) Pour some cheese sauce over the potatoes, just enough to cover them 12) Repeat steps 10 & 11 until you run out of potatoes, end with cheese sauce 13) You can crumble crackers over the top if you wish but it's not necessary 14) Bake in oven about 30 minutes or until bubbly and cheese turns light brown - keep an eye on it
