CHEESY SCALLOPED POTATOES
A delicious recipe from Southern to the Core cookbook received from BusyMomof3 in the 2011 Cookbook Swap, must admit to cooking this but I add ham and spring onion (scallion in place of onion) to the mix so consider this the base mix and delicious. On preparation time it can vary hugely dependig on if you use a mondolin or food processor or by hand and then depending on your knife skills, so I have tried to take a middle line here on the timing.
