POTATOES AU GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Butter an 8-inch baking dish.
• Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 cup of the milk and stir until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 cup milk and the salt. Add the potatoes to the milk mixture, stirring to coat. Cook the potatoes, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. The potatoes should still be firm. (They will finish baking in the oven.) Remove from the heat.
• Stir in 1 3/4 cups of the semihard cheese along with the semisoft cheese, chipotle powder, and garlic powder. Pour the potato mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly. Top with the reserved 1/4 cup semihard cheese and the bread crumbs.
• Bake for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown, the sauce is bubbly, and the potatoes in the center of the dish are tender when pierced with a fork.
• Let the gratin cool for 5 minutes before serving.
• Make Ahead
• To make the gratin up to 1 day in advance, prepare it to the point of baking, cover, and refrigerate. Bake for about 1 hour. Reheat leftover gratin in a preheated 350°F. oven, covered with foil.
