Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large saucepan, melt butter/margarine
over low heat. Make a roux by stirring together flour and seasoning with
a wire whisk. Gradually whisk in milk. Bring to a boil and stir constantly
for 1 minute or until thickened. Immediately remove from heat and stir
in cheese until melted. Coat a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Add sliced potatoes and sprinkle onions over. Evenly pour sauce over.
Cover and bake for 1 hour or until potatoes are fork tender. Uncover and bake for a few minutes until top browns.
