1. 1Heat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Parboil the potato slices in salted water for 5 minutes until just starting to soften, then drain well.
2. 2Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and simmer 3–4 minutes, stirring, until thick enough to coat a spoon.
3. 3Remove from the heat and stir in 1½ cups cheddar, the salt, pepper and paprika until smooth.
4. 4Spread half the potatoes in the dish, top with half the sausage and onion, and pour over half the cheese sauce. Repeat the layers, finishing with sauce.
5. 5Cover with foil and bake 35 minutes. Uncover, sprinkle with the remaining ½ cup cheddar and bake 15–20 minutes more until the potatoes are fork-tender and the top is golden and bubbling.
6. 6Rest 10 minutes so the sauce sets, then scatter with chives and serve. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours for 3–4 days and reheat to 165°F.
