5 large potatoes
1 medium onion
6 or more large cloves fresh garlic
2 T. butter
1/4 cup cheddar cheese, grated

2 T. butter
2 T. flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 tsp. each, salt and dry mustard
Dash of paprika
3/4 cup grated cheddar cheese

Peel and thinly slice potatoes; peel and mince onion; peel garlic. Grease a 10-inch baking dish or equivalent-size casserole. Cover bottom with one layer of potato slices. Sprinkle with minced onion. Using a garlic press, press 2 cloves of garlic and sprinkle over potatoes. Dot with a portion of the butter. Repeat until all potatoes are used, making 3 or 4 layers. Pour cheese sauce over potatoes. Sprinkle 1/2 cup grated cheese over top. Cover and bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Uncover and bake for 30 minutes longer, or until potatoes are done. To make cheese sauce: Melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in flour. Slowly stir in milk. Cook and stir over moderate heat until sauce is smooth and slightly thickened. Blend in salt and dry mustard, a generous dash paprika, and 3/4 cup grated Cheddar cheese. Heat, stirring, until cheese melts.
