Arlene's Scalloped Potatoes Au Gratin

Course Side Dish

Ingredients
  

  • 4-6 large Idaho potatoes
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1 sleeve buttery round crackers, crushed (about 32 crackers)
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 4 cups milk
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 2-quart casserole dish with butter.
  • Peel and thoroughly wash potatoes. Thinly slice into 1/8-inch round slices. Begin layering potatoes in bottom of casserole.
  • Cover 1st layer of potatoes with cracker crumbs, then dot with butter, then sprinkle with salt, pepper, and cheddar cheese. Continue layering everything until all ingredients are used, ending with a cheese layer on top.
  • Carefully pour milk into the dish, until all layers are covered in liquid. Place casserole uncovered into preheated oven and back at 375 until a knife inserted in the center goes through all the potatoes easily. Let sit 5 minutes, then serve. Makes 8 servings. Enjoy!
  • Note: If the top cheese starts browning too quickly, you can loosely cover it with a piece of greased aluminum foil. Also, you may omit the cheese if you would like plain scalloped potatoes.
