Ode to Frances

I made scalloped potatoes from scratch this weekend. Once when I was little, Frances had me over and we made scalloped potatoes by layering cheese, flour, and cream over sliced potatoes. I must admit, mine were better because
a) I used salt, and
b) because I made a roux first and added the milk and cheese creating a cream sauce first, so my sauce wasn't lumpy.
Hmmm, although I don't remember Frances' potatoes running over in the oven causing the kitchen to smoke up. Regardless - here's to you Frances!
