Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a 6cm deep, 24cm square baking dish.
Melt butter in a heavy based saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2 mins, or until bubbling. Remove from heat. Slowly add the milk, stirring constantly until well combined. Return to heat. Cook, stirring, until sauce comes to the boil. Add 1 1/2 cups of cheese. Stir to combine.
Arrange 1/3 of the potatoes, overlapping slightly, over base of baking dish. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spoon one-third of the cheese sauce over potatoes. Repeat twice. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
