DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2. Install the disc spindle in the 72-ounce Pitcher. Place the Reversible
Slicing/Shredding Disc, shredding side up, on the spindle. Install the
feed chute lid and place 1 cheese block in the feed chute. Select
DISC and press START/STOP. Use the pusher to push the cheese
through the chute. Repeat with remaining cheese. When processing
is complete, remove the lid, disc, and spindle and set the cheese aside.
3. Reinstall the disc spindle in the pitcher. Place the Reversible
Slicing/Shredding Disc, slicing side up, on the spindle. Install the feed
chute lid and place 1 potato half in the feed chute. Select DISC and
press START/STOP. Use the pusher to push the potato through the
chute. Repeat with remaining potatoes. When processing is complete,
remove the lid, disc, and spindle and set the potatoes aside.
4. Place a large pot over medium heat with the butter. Once melted,
add the flour and whisk until a light brown paste forms.
5. Slowly pour half the milk into the pot and whisk until combined.
Add the remaining milk and continue to whisk until fully combined.
6. Season the sauce with salt and pepper and bring to a simmer,
then cook for 3 to 5 minutes to thicken. The sauce should coat
the back of a spoon.
7. While the sauce is simmering, layer the potatoes to cover the
bottom of a 9x 13 baking dish. After each layer, sprinkle the
potatoes with cheese. Repeat until all the potatoes have been used.
8. Pour the sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle with any remaining
cheese. Cover with foil and bake for 1 hour.
9. After 1 hour, remove the foil and bake until the cheese is golden
brown, about 15 minutes.
10. When cooking is complete, remove the pan from oven and allow to
cool slightly. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve.
