Hearty helpings of these cheesy spuds will please hungry folks in a hurry. The rich, creamy sauce makes this recipe of my mother's the one folks request most. The potatoes are just as delicious the next day, reheat in the microwave with a little added milk.—Debbie Carlson, San Diego, California

1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour

8 cups (32 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
