Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Taken from my “Favorites” folder!
This may be completely assembled and refrigerated up for a few hours before baking, if you have any leftovers place in a blender with some chicken broth and milk and you will have a cheesy smooth tater soup 
Servings 6-8
INGREDIENTS:
6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (preferably russet potatoes but reds will do fine)
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (can use more)
seasoned salt
freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika (optional)
White Sauce:
1/4 cup butter
3 garlic cloves, minced (garlic lovers can use more)
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
pinch cayenne pepper (optional)
2 cups half and half cream
1/3 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:——————————————
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (oven rack set to lowest position).
Grease an 11 x 7-inch baking dish.
For the sauce; in a medium saucepan melted the butter over medium-high; add in garlic and cook stirring for 2 minutes.
Stir in flour, black pepper, salt and cayenne pepper; cook stirring for 1 minute.
Slowly add in the cream whisking constantly; cook over medium heat until bubbly and thickened.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese
Spread one-third of the white sauce into the botom of the baking dish (or use just enough to cover the bottom of the pan completely).
Pat the potato slices dry using a paper towel/s.
Place half the slices into the bottom of the dish over the sauce, then season the potatoes lightly with seasoned salt and pepper, then sprinkle half of the sliced onions over the potatoes, then 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (can use more if desired).
Repeat layering with remaining half of the sliced potatoes, salt, pepper, remaining onion slices the 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese on the top.
Pour remaining half of the white sauce evenly over the top (at this point you may cover and refrigerate for a few hours).
Sprinkle the paprika over the top.
Bake for 1-1/2 to 2 hours or until the potato slices are just fork tender.

I made these exactly as you posted only omitting the onion. The cayenne pepper added just the right amount of nip. These are a rich and filling potato that goes over well with meat and potato type eaters. Kudo’s on a winning scalloped potato recipe.
