Potatoes with Cheese Sauce

Whenever we would have a family get-together at my husband's granny's house, it seemed like these potatoes were always there. They are so good and go with just about anything. His granny, Elva Jessen, was a great cook and passed that on to her girls, Eula Faye and Betty Sue. Thank you, Grandma and Aunt Sue, for passing your love and talent for cooking down to your daughters, daughters-in-law and granddaughters.

Potatoes with Cheese Sauce

10 to 12 medium potatoes, peeled

1 stick margarine or butter

2 Tb flour

1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk

1 lb Velveeta, cubed

Cut potatoes in chunks and parboil; drain water off and pour potatoes in 9x13 inch baking dish. Salt to taste. Cook remaining four ingredients in microwave or double boiler until cheese melts. Pour sauce over potatoes and bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes.

Notes: For those of you new to cooking, parboiling is "partial boiling". Stop the cooking process before completely cooked. I have always brought the potatoes to a boil and boiled them for about 10 -15 minutes and drain. As far as the sauce, I usually set the microwave on high for 2 or 3 minutes, stir, and repeat that until sauce is smooth.

I have about decided to go through my recipes and write down the volume of product in a can, jar, etc. In order to save the consumer money, the manufacturers reduce the volume of their product. This in turn changes the flavor and consistency of your dish. So, I will try to put the volume in the recipes I post for you.
