Cheesy Potato Casserole

If there are leftovers (fat chance!

), have them for breakfast, topped with a fried egg.

This recipe was developed by Karen Rankin.

Heat butter in a medium-sized saucepan over medium, whisking often, until melted, about 2 minutes.

Add flour and cook, whisking constantly, until bubbling, about 1 minute.

Remove from heat and set aside.

Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch baking dish with butter.

Remove from the oven and rest at room temperature for 10 minutes.
