then i thought... why not make my own? so i did!

the recipe!
you need about 6 or 7 medium-sized red potatoes (you can use russet if you want- but these are my fave)
2 heads of broccoli (optional)
salt and pepper to taste
4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups milk
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
~Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a 1 quart casserole dish.
~Layer the potatoes into bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
~In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
~Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute.
~Stir in milk.
~Cook until mixture has thickened.
~Stir in cheese all at once, and continue stirring until melted, about 30 to 60 seconds.
~Pour cheese over the potatoes, and cover the dish with aluminum foil.
~Bake 1 1/2 hours in the preheated oven.
~Cover over the top with tin foil with about 20 minutes remaining, for a more crisp top layer.

WORTH IT.
Great, now I have to go out and buy potatoes, because all I can think about is cheesy potatoes.
