Au Gratin Potatoes

2-3 Idaho potatoes
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup diced onion
2 small cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
2 tablespoons flour
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
salt and pepper, to taste

Peel potatoes and slice thinly, 1/8". A mandoline is perfect for this.
Rinse and cover with water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil; boil for
2 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop cooking. In a saucepan,
melt butter over medium-low heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until
tender; add minced garlic and parsley. Stir in flour and pepper until
smooth. Gradually add milk, cooking and stirring over medium-low heat
until thickened. Stir in cheese until melted and sauce is smooth. Arrange
sliced potatoes in a 2 to 2 1/2-quart casserole, sprinkling layers with
salt and pepper. Pour sauce evenly over potatoes. Cover dish and cook at
350° for 40 to 50 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Serves 4 to 6.
