HEAT butter in same saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook,
stirring occasionally, for 1 to 2 minutes or until onion is tender.
Stir in flour, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in evaporated milk and
water. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil.

NOTE: For a twist on the traditional, spice up your Scalloped Potatoes
with these tips. Add a combination of chopped ham, red bell pepper
and/or ORTEGA Diced Green Chiles to the potatoes prior to baking. Or,
add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese to the milk mixture after it is
removed from the heat and top the dish with additional shredded
cheddar cheese in place of Parmesan cheese.
