• 3-4 peeled or unpeeled potatoes
• 1 yam or sweet potato, optional
• 1 large onion, or leek, sliced or chopped
• 4 tablespoons oil or butter

Slice potatoes and onions. Arrange in 2-3 quart glass or ceramic casserole. In batter bowl combine butter, flour, salt, mustard, and pepper. Microwave on high 30 seconds. Whisk in milk. Microwave on high 2 minutes. Whisk. Microwave 2-4 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Add grated cheese. Pour sauce over potatoes, lifting them so that the sauce runs to the bottom as well. Sprinkle with paprika. Cover with Stretch-Tite piercing it in several places for steam vents. Microwave on high 5 minutes, then on half-power 30 minutes, until potatoes are tender. Sprinkle with more grated cheese, if desired, and pass under a hot broiler just before serving.
