Source  Our Best Bites
Recipe Added:  1/12/2012
3 lb red or Yukon Gold potatoes
1 small yellow onion
8-9 oz garlic herb or chive cream cheese
2 cup milk
2 Tbsp flour
1 Tbsp butter
1 tsp Kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper
chopped fresh parsley or chives
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray. Wash potatoes and onion and slice into 1/8-1/4 slices. Toss to combine. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes and onions in the bottom of the baking dish and sprinkle with some black pepper. Set aside.

In a medium saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add flour all at once and whisk to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, making a roux. Slowly add in milk and salt. Increase heat to medium and stir constantly until sauce starts to thicken, around 3-5 minutes. Add creamy cheese and stir until cheese is melted and combined.

Pour 1/2 of the mixture over the potatoes in the pan. Add remaining potatoes to the pan, sprinkle with pepper, and pour remaining sauce over potatoes. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and bake 55-60 minutes or until potatoes can easily be pierced with a fork. Sprinkle with a couple Tbsp of fresh, chopped parsley or chives and serve.
