I had a hankering for scalloped potatoes after reading about them on a food blog. I no longer remember which of the multitude of food blogs it came from but it doesn't really matter. Except that you're not going to be able to read the blog. I apologize for that. I also apologize because I'm not going to list the 40ish (ok so maybe it's more like 50ish) food blogs I try to follow. Call me lazy. It's most appropriate.
I think every family has their own scalloped potato recipe. This is the one that I use most often. And by that I mean the once or maybe twice a year I make this. I confess: we're not big potato eaters. Please don't hold it against us. It's not that we don't like them but rather that I rarely think of making them.
Scalloped Potatoes
slightly adapted from Lighthearted Everyday Cooking by Anne Lindsay
8 medium potatoes, thinly sliced (I used the 2mm blade on my food processor)
1 large onion sliced
2 T flour (I used heaping tablespoons)
Salt and pepper
2 c hot milk (I used P's whole milk rather than K's 1% because his was running low. I say use whatever floats your boat.)
1 c shredded part-skim Cheddar cheese (I used Swiss cheese because it was starting to become one with my freezer)
Preheat oven to 350F.
Oil a 9 x 13 baking dish with olive oil. I'm not convinced that this has made my pan any easier to clean but, olive oil is good for you so give it a try!
Arrange one-third of the potatoes over the bottom; sprinkle with half of the onion, then half of the flour. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Repeat layers; arrange remaining potatoes over top. Pour hot milk over. Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake, uncovered, in oven for 1 hour or until potatoes are tender.
