Potatoes
- StepPreheat oven to 425°F.

Cheese Sauce
- StepMeanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 3 minutes until golden.
- StepReduce heat and gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Once fully combined, increase heat slightly and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring continuously until thickened.

Assembly
