Preheat the oven to 375Â°F.
Peel the potatoes and slice into 1/8 inch or less thick slices. Cover with cold water and set aside while preparing the sauce.
Heat the butter until hot in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook until they are tender and starting to brown, approximately 5 minutes.
Stir in the flour and salt; cook for about 1 minute.
Gradually stir in the milk. Continue to stir as the mixture cooks. Cook until the mixture just comes to a boil and has thickened.
Remove from the heat and add 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Stir until it is all melted.
Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
Layer half of the potato slices in the bottom of a 3 quart baking dish.
Spread have of the sauce over the potatoes and then sprinkle with half of the remaining shredded cheese.
Layer the other half of the potatoes on top of the sauce and cheese.
Spread the remaining sauce over the potatoes and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the sauce.
Sprinkle the top with paprika.
Cover the dish with foil and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 1 1/2 hours covered.
Remove the foil and test for doneness. If the potatoes are close to being done when poked with a fork, leave the foil off and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes uncovered.
If the potatoes do not feel close to being done, cover them back up and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes before baking uncovered.
