2 pounds potatoes (about 6 medium)
4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 1/2 cups milk
1 small onion, finely chopped

Pare and cut potatoes into enough thin slices to measure about 4 cups. Heat 3 tablespoons butter in saucepan over low heat until melted. Blend in flour, salt, and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is smooth and bubbly; remove from heat. Stir in milk; heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil and stir 1 minute.

Arrange potatoes in greased 2-quart dish in 3 layers, topping each of the first 2 with 1/2 the onion and 1/3 the white sauce. Top with remaining potatoes and sauce. Dot with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Cover and bake at 325° for 40 minutes, or 350° for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until potatoes are tender, 60–70 minutes longer. Let stand 5–10 minutes before serving.
