Scalloped Potatoes

Hi Everyone!

Do you ever get tired of mashed potatoes and want something different?  If so,  try Scalloped Potatoes.  They are not hard to make at all and they are scrumptious!  I am going to give you a basic recipe, but you can get creative and add cheese, chives, bacon bits, etc..  The possibilities are endless!

You will need the following:

* Potatoes (I prefer Red Skin because they are so creamy)
* Onions
* Butter
* Flour
* Water
* Milk or Light Cream
* Salt
* Pepper
* Parsley

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Wash and slice your potatoes into slices that aren't too thick.  Put them aside in a bowl.

Chop up your onions and put them in a separate bowl.

Mix about 2-3 tablespoons of flour with water.  Mix until smooth and creamy.

In skillet or pot, melt a couple of scoops of butter.  Now add the onions and saute them on low heat.  Once the butter and onions are simmering, add the flour and water.  This is going to thicken your mixture.  Whisk until all ingredients are combined. 

Now add about a cup of milk and continue whisking until smooth.  Keep the flame low so that it doesn't burn.  Season with salt, pepper and any other favorite seasoning.  Mix in a little parsley for presentation. 

Pour this mixture into the bowl with the potatoes and mix until thoroughly combined.

Grease your favorite baking dish.

Pour the combined potatoes into the dish.

Bake the covered dish for approximately 50-60 minutes until golden, bubbly brown.

The family or guests will go wild!

Enjoy!
