SCALLOPED POTATOES
Ingredients:-
6-7 medium-size potatoes
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
Few grains pepper
2 cups scalded milk
1/4 cup chopped onion
Few grains paprika
Grated cheese (optional)
Method:-
Wash and peel potatoes; slice thinly. Spread about 1/3 of the slices in a buttered 1-1/2 quart casserole. Melt butter in a saucepan; slowly blend in the flour, salt and pepper.
Gradually add hot milk, stirring constantly. Sprinkle potatoes with half the onions and 1/3 the sauce. Cover with another layer of potatoes and rest of the onions. Place remaining potatoes on top, then cover with the rest of the sauce.
Sprinkle with paprika and grated cheese, if desired.
Bake, uncovered, in a moderate oven (375ºF) for 1 hour or until done and potatoes are lightly browned on top.
