Ma'S Delmonico Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

10 lbs potatoes, boiled, peeled and cubed
6 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons flour
3 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon paprika
6 cups milk
10 ounces Cracker Barrel sharp cheddar cheese (red package)

Preparation

Place potatoes in a greased 4 quart casserole.
Shred cheese.
Melt butter in saucepan.
Mix flour, salt, dry mustard, cayenne, pepper and paprika; add to melted butter.
Cook, stirring with whisk constantly, until bubbly.
Add milk and continue stirring until mixture starts to become thick.
Begin adding shredded cheese by the handful, stirring all the while.
Continue cooking and stirring until mixture has boiled about 5 minutes (to cook flour, to prevent a \"floury\" taste).
Pour cheese sauce over potatoes.
Bake at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until bubbly and beginning to brown on top.
