3 lg. white potatoes
1 c. coarsely chopped onion
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 c. flour
8 slices American cheese
1 1/2-2 lb. total firm white fish, peeled & cleaned shrimp, small scallops or crab (1/2 lb. of each is nice)
2 c. milk
1/2 c. butter

Peel and cube potatoes (3/4 inch pieces). In a large covered pot, boil onions and potatoes in enough water to not quite cover. Add salt and pepper. Wash fish and cut into 3/4 inch cubes. When the vegetables are almost cooked, add fish and shell fish and enough water to cover fish.

Reduce heat and simmer about 1/2 hour over very low heat. Stir in milk. Melt 1/2 cup butter in separate pan and stir in 1/4 cup flour. Add to large pan and return to a slow boil stirring gently. Add cheese slices stirring until cheese melts.
