4 cups uncooked white potatoes, diced
1 small onion, minced
1 teaspoon salt
one 4-ounce jar chopped pimentos

4 tablespoons butter
4 tablespoons flour or cornstarch

1 cup grated cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup cracker crumbs or gluten-free cracker crumbs
Directions:
1. Place the potatoes in a pan, add onion and 1 teaspoon salt, cover with boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes. Drain. Put in a greased baking dish and mix in the pimentos.
2. TO MAKE THE SAUCE: Melt butter in a saucepan. Blend in the flour. Cook over low heat until bubbly. Add milk and heat until boiling, stirring constantly for 1 minute. Remove from heat and add the grated cheese.
3. Stir until the cheese is melted and fully incorporated. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Pour finished sauce over potatoes and sprinkle with cracker crumbs.
