Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 lbs yellow potatoes,
1 can cream of mushroom, chicken or celery soup
1 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
black pepper to taste
1 small onion, thinly sliced
2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Wash potatoes and slice 1/4" thick (no need to peel). Drop into boiling water for 5 minutes. During the last minute, add sliced onions to the water. Drain. Meanwhile, combine soup, milk, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl. Microwave until hot. Put a little bit of the soup mixture in the bottom of a greased 2qt casserole dish, a 9x9 pan or an oven safe pan. Layer 1/2 of the potatoes, 1/2 of the soup mixture and 1/2 of the cheese. Repeat layers ending with cheese. Bake at 375 for 45-55 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Tips:

Use a variety of cheeses: This will give your scalloped potatoes a more complex flavor. Try using a combination of cheddar, Parmesan, and Gruyère.
Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds richness and flavor to the potatoes. Be generous with it when greasing the baking dish and when coating the potato slices.
Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, and parsley, will add a pop of flavor to your scalloped potatoes. Add them to the dish before baking.
Don't overcook the potatoes: Overcooked potatoes will be mushy and bland. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
