Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 F and generously butter a shallow baking dish.
Boil diced potatoes with 1 teaspoon of salt for 12 to 15 minutes until tender, then drain.
Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan, stir in flour, and cook for 2 to 3 minutes without browning.
Gradually stir in milk, continuing to cook over low heat until the sauce thickens; season with salt and pepper.
Combine the drained potatoes with the prepared sauce.
Transfer the potato mixture to the buttered baking dish.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the potatoes.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and toss with breadcrumbs, then sprinkle over the cheese.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until the breadcrumbs are browned and the casserole is bubbling.
