These are pretty easy to make, and I assure you, there will be no leftovers to clog up the fridge. Perfect for Sunday dinner, or even a holiday - like Easter! :-)
Sunday Scalloped Potatoes
½ c. chopped, sweet onions
4 T. butter
4 T. flour
2 ½ c. milk
salt & pepper
8 potatoes, peeled & thinly sliced
Preheat oven to 350. Fry the onion in the butter until soft, then stir in flour & whisk for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the milk and cook until thick and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
Layer half the potatoes in a baking dish and sprinkle with salt & pepper, and half of the creamed onion sauce. Place the remaining potatoes on top of that, season with salt & pepper and the remaining sauce.
Cover and bake for 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender.
Convenient do-aheads & add-ins:
1. Peel & slice the potatoes when you have a few free minutes. Rinse them in cold water then cover with water & stick in the fridge. When you're ready to create your masterpiece, the taters are ready to go!
2. chop your onions ahead of time & drop into a ziplock sandwich bag.
3. For a cheesy version, mix 2 c. grated cheddar into the sauce before you pour it over the taters. mmm... cheese!
ENJOY!
