scalloped potatoes

• 1 sweet potato, 
• 6-8 medium golden potatoes
• 3 Tbsp. butter
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1.5 cups milk
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 1.5 cups grated cheese plus 1/2 cup

Slice potatoes thinly.

Melt butter in a medium size pot.Add in the flour and whisk till smooth. Slowly stir in milk, still whisking. Add in salt and cayenne. Slowly add in cheese till melted and smooth sauce. 

Put half the potatoes in flat layers in a greased 9x9 pan. Pour half the sauce over it. Layer the remaining potatoes and pour remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle the leftover cheese and bake at 350 degrees for about 1 hour or till potatoes are cooked through. You may need a cookie sheet underneath to catch drips if your pan is very full. 

This is a pretty classic scalloped potatoes recipe but the mix of sweet and golden potatoes give it a slight twist.
