This is based loosely on the side dish that you can get at Cracker Barrel. The "flavor" i.e. the volume of cheese can be alternated to either make it cheesier or healthier.
Ingredients:
1 large potato
1 Tsp flour
1 Tsp butter
1/4 cup milk
8 oz Cheddar Cheese
* Kosher Salt
Preparation:
Peel and shred potato into hash brown size slivers and let sit in lightly salted water. Bring water to a boil over high heat and add potatoes to quickly blanch for about 2 - 3 minutes. Strain and place in casserole dish.
In another saucepan melt butter and mix with flour, completely incorporating the two ingredients. Add milk and shredded cheddar cheese. Continue to stir until cheese melts completely and sauce thickens.
Pour the cheese sauce over the potatoes and mix well. Place in an oven at 350 degrees for between 15 - 20 minutes or until cheese bubbles and hash browns crisp.
OPTIONAL:
Use crumbled bacon or panko bread crumbs and throw in the broiler for a few minutes for extra crisp.
Serving:
This serves about 2 as a side dish.
