Easy Scalloped Potatoes

- 1 1/2 cups of light cream

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.
Mix the cream of mushroom soup with the cream in a bowl and pour into the casserole dish.
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.
