How To Make quickly scalloped potatoes

  • Step 1
    peel and slice potatoes thin
  • Step 2
    peel and chop onions
  • Step 3
    place in stainless steel sauce-pan then add garlic, and all seasonings.
  • Step 4
    Cover w/ water and cook 20 minutes on medium heat. remove cover during last 5 minutes for some water to escape.
  • Step 5
    Add Half n half then place 1/2 potato mixture in casserole dish cover layer w/ cheese, then place remaining potato mixture and top w/ cheese. Bake uncovered at 300-350 degrees approx. 25 minutes or so according to how hot your oven gets. mine gets hot hot, so I actually cooked at 300. For reheating leftovers you do want to cover to reheat otherwise the edges get too brown and dry. Tip: just add Half n Half around edges if worried about that. (cheaters tip.) smiles
  • Step 6
    Optional: I just happened to have prepare broiled mushrooms n cheese the night prior therefore I put them on top layer and added more cheese of course. Adds a chewy Cheesey deliciousness. Also you can leave off the Oregano if your family is picky about spices. but I say bring it on because there's nutrition in seasonings.
