OK...here goes...these potatoes are always requested at family stuff around here.
Au-Gratin Potatoes (My son used to call them "all rotten" - he was learning to talk and could not say Au-Gratin...LOL)
4 - 5 potatoes (irish or red potatoes - peeled or not) sliced about 1/4" thick
1 onion - thinly sliced (you can also use green onion)
1 stick butter (13X9X2 pan or 1/2 stick for 8X8 pan)
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Salt
Milk
Grated cheese of your choice
Layer potatoes, onion and seasonings in glass baking dish. Slice stick of butter into 1/4" pats and place over the top of the layered ingredients. Pour milk over mixture until you can see about 1/4" in bottom of the dish. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for about 45 minutes or until done. Turn off the oven. Remove aluminum foil and sprinkle as much cheese over the top as you dare and place back in hot oven until cheese melts. Enjoy!!! |
