Mom's Scalloped Potatoes

Hubby found 10 pounds of potatoes for $1.99 at Atwoods of all places. While I don't usually shop at the farm supply store for groceries, I sure would buy more potatoes from them. They had a full pallet of them and they are very nice...not green and sprouting.

I decided to make scalloped potatoes last night to go with the grilled spatchcock chicken we cooked. My mom used to make them all the time and they are really good to go as a side dish with just about anything.

Spray whatever size baking dish you need with non-stick spray or butter generously. Peel and slice potatoes into the dish. When you have enough potatoes to cover the bottom of the dish, season generously

with salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle about a tablespoon and a half of flour over the layer. Repeat the layers until you have as much as you need.

Heat about 3 cups of milk to scalding. Dot the top of the potatoes with butter and sprinkle with cheese if you like, your preference. Pour the scalding milk over the potatoes and make sure the milk comes up to the top of them. Bake at 350 degrees until potatoes are tender and browned. Remove from oven and serve, or they can be held until just warm.

The flour and milk make a thick sauce and the potatoes absorb most of the liquid. Good for what ails you!
