• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Butter a medium casserole dish.
• Layer 1/2 of the potatoes into bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with the onion slices, and add the remaining potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• In a medium-size saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Mix in the flour and salt, and stir constantly with a whisk for one minute. Stir in milk. Cook until mixture has thickened.

Steps:

• Pour milk over the potato flakes and set aside.
• Heat non stick skillet to medium.
• (Cooking oil or butter maybe used but will be absorbed by the potatoes). While skillet is heating stir the potatoes and milk until flakes are completely dissolved and mixture is thick but not crumbly.
• Form potatoes into palm size "patties" approximately 1/2-inch thick.
• Carefully place patties in the skillet leaving plenty of space between them.
• Fry for approximately 4 minutes and turn carefully.
• (They will break if you are not careful to get the spatula completely underneath them). Cover each patty with 1/4 of the cheese and cook until cheese is melted.
• You can add additional seasoning (salt, pepper, chili powder) to the potato mixture per your own taste.
• You can also use your own choice of cheeses.
