• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups milk

3. Remove the skillet from the heat and pour the milk mixture into a separate bowl.
4. Arrange the sliced potatoes in the skillet in an overlapping spiral pattern, season each layer with salt and pepper, and sprinkle cheese between each layer.
5. Pour the milk mixture over the potatoes and then cover with the remaining cheese.
