Crispy Onion Scalloped Potatoes

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray 13x9-inch (22 x 23 cm) baking dish with no stick cooking spray. Place potatoes in large bowl. Set aside.

Melt butter in medium saucepan on medium heat. Sprinkle in flour; cook and stir 2 minutes or until well blended. Gradually stir in half-and-half until smooth. Cook about 3 minutes, stirring constantly, or until sauce starts to thicken. Stir in 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) of the cheese, garlic salt and pepper until completely melted and smooth. Remove from heat.

Pour cheese sauce over potatoes. Add 1 cup (250 mL) of the Fried Onions and toss to coat well. Pour mixture into prepared baking dish. Cover with foil.

Bake 55 minutes. Remove foil and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup (125 mL) cheese and remaining 1 cup (250 mL) Fried Onions. Bake 5 minutes longer or until potatoes are tender and top is golden. Let stand 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
