- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup cheddar cheese, the flour, milk, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Arrange half the potato slices in the baking dish. Pour half the cheese mixture over potatoes. Arrange remaining potatoes in baking dish, and pour remaining cheese mixture over potatoes. Dot with butter.

Test Kitchen Tip!
- Want to add a little more seasoning? No problem! Think of these as a blank canvas that you can add your own personality to. Maybe one time swap out the Italian seasoning for a Tex-Mex blend…you get the idea.
