Au Gratin Potatoes
If your family likes to have its dose of starch with the main meal, plain old potatoes can get pretty boring very quickly. Easy-to-make potato dishes can make a delightful surprise to any meal (and you can tell the difference from the packaged stuff you find in your grocery store).
4 large potatoes
¼ cup finely chopped onions
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons of butter
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
Optional:
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or parsley flakes
¼ cup Bacon Bits or crumbled crisp bacon
Pre-heat oven to 400°F. Wash potatoes well and leave skins on potatoes for added flavor. Slice potatoes into thin slices with a sharp knife. Mix all ingredients loosely into an 8X8 glass baking dish, saving some of the grated cheese to sprinkle on top. Place dish in middle rack of oven and bake for 40 – 45 minutes until potatoes are completely tender. Remove from oven when done and allow to cool 5 minutes before serving.
Should make 4 servings. Add one potato and adjust ingredients for each additional serving.
