Ingredients

Directions

  2. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat.
  3. Whisk in flour, 1 teaspoon salt, pepper, and paprika until smooth.

  5. In a separate saucepan, combine potatoes, onions, remaining 1 teaspoon salt, and water.
  6. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes until potatoes are tender.
  7. Drain the potato and onion mixture thoroughly.
  8. Spread one-third of the potato-onion mixture in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
  9. Sprinkle with one-third of the parsley and pour one-third of the white sauce over the top.
  10. Repeat the layers two more times, ending with the sauce on top.
  11. Bake uncovered for 45 to 60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the top is lightly browned.
