mom's famous cheesey potatoes

3 large baking potatoes-sliced thinly
1 onion diced
4 Tablespoons butter
4-6 Tablespoons of flour- enough to bind the onions in a clump
2 cups milk
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese-grated

Saute the onions in the butter till soft, then add flour 1 Tablespoon at a time to make a roux and onions have clumped together (this will thicken the cheese sauce). Add milk, 1/2 cup at a time and stir till mixed well and starts to thicken. After milk is well mix with flour and onions put cheese in 1/2 cup at a time till melted. Spray a 9x12 dish with cooking spray and layer potatoes in pan pour cheesy mixtures over each layer. Save some sauce for the top. Sprinkle top with cheese. Cover and bake at 400 for 10 minutes and turn oven down to 350 for 1 hours or until potatoes are soft. Make sure you use a cookie sheet under the 9x12 dish, this will avoid a mess in your oven. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before serving.

You can also add ham to the potatoes, peas also work well too.
You can also use frozen shredded hash brown instead of the baking potatoes
