CHEESE & POTATO BAKE

Potatoes are such a versatile vegetable and can be done in so many ways. This potato bake is different from the usual in that the sauce is made over the stove and is flour based. The flour gives it a rich, thick consistency which in my opinion makes the dish so much better.

If you didn’t know, flour also adds some kind of flavor in its own mysterious way. Melting the cheese in the cream over the stove also give the dish a different feel compared to when you mix everything in the pan and toss it into the oven.

Try it out now and thank me later.
