     Have you ever Googled a recipe for traditional scalloped potatoes?  All this talk of making a roux, gradually adding milk to flour and butter, whisking constantly for 8 minutes?  Jay Eatz says forget about it, scalloped potatoes don't have to be that hard.  Don't get me wrong, the traditional way is far from the wrong way but there is a faster and easier way.  This recipe should yield 4 to 6 servings and fill a 2 quart casserole dish.
Easy Scalloped Potatoes
Ingredients:
  • About 4 medium potatoes (depending on size, I used 5 varing sized white potatoes)
  • 1 medium sized onion
  • 2 cans cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 1/2 cups of light cream
  • Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions:
Peel and slice the onion into fine slices.  Peel and wash the potatoes.  Slice the potatoes into thin slices, about 1/8 of an inch.  Try to slice potatoes evenly to ensure even cooking time.

Place sliced potatoes in 2 quart casserole dish until you can not see the bottom of the dish.  Then add a layer of onions and season with salt and pepper.  Repeat this step until the dish is almost full.  Be sure to leave about a 1/2 inch of space between the potatoes and the lip of the casserole dish, this will prevent the mixture from boiling over causing a mess in the oven.

Bake covered in a pre-heated oven at 375 degrees for about an hour.  Uncover and continue to bake for another half hour or until the potatoes are tender.  Pierce the potatoes with a fork to determine if the potatoes are done, if not continue to bake until tender.  Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly, serve and enjoy.

     I paired these scalloped potatoes with a Schneiders Olde Fashioned ham.  Nothing goes better with scalloped potatoes than ham.  If you like a cheesy scalloped potato just add shredded cheese to the top of the scalloped potatoes the last 10 minutes of cooking time.  I hope you enjoy these Easy Scalloped Potatoes.

There are a lot of recipes and procedure than can be made from potatoes, but this one is what I want to make and really caught my attention.
