What ingredients are in bechemal sauce?
It is just the basic white sauce. 2 tablespoons of butter, 2 of flour. Melt the butter, add the flour, cook for 2 or three minutes on medium heat. I add slowly 2 cups of milk while whisking until it thickens.
I boil the little new potatoes until tender and then add them to the sauce. My husband and son loved these.
This is a base for many recipes. I call it the 222, equal parts of fat, flour and milk. If you need more, then do 3 of each and so on.
I use this basic for mac and cheese ( add your choice of cheeses at the end)
For scalloped potatos, cook until just beginning to thicken. You may choose to add cheese or just pour the base sauce over your potatos and bake as directed. I make it for breakfast, use sausage grease instead of butter for southern biscuits and gravy.

I love a good potato salad...not that deli style mess. It has to include chopped eggs and an excellent mayo. I just had a Golden's potato pancake today. I like those with apple sauce.
Yes a good potato salad must have chopped boiled eggs. Also paprika shaken over the top for flavor and appearance, as my MIL taught me.

I like them in any shape and form 
hash browns, fried, boiled, baked, mashed, and potato salad if it contains real mayonnaise.
Actually, the only potatoes I don't like are in ready-made products like beef stew- too many of them, and too large, so they overshadow the rest of the meal.

I like potatoes in most ways, but my favourite is 'Pommes Boulangère ' . It's finely sliced potatoes layered with onions that have been cooked in butter and thyme, covered with vegetable stock and baked in the oven.

Potatoes are in my DNA. Loved baked with sour cream and chives and bacon bits.
Mashed with garlic and lots of butter are delicious as well. Hold the gravy, not a lover of that stuff.

I come from a family of Louisiana rice farmers, so we ate rice not potatoes. Growing up anyway.
However I have learned to like potatoes and eat them most anyway they can be cooked. Try not to eat them too often, but when I do I always enjoy. Most recently I had a few French fries.

I love potatoes, anyway they are made. My Favorites?
Hard to pick a favorite, but probably mashed, baked and home fries.
