This dish is delicious alone or accompanied by other foods as a side dish. It's very easy and inexpensive to fix and the ingredients are ones almost anyone would have in the pantry. I use Jack cheese or cheddar. For a stronger cheese flavor I get sharp cheddar instead of adding more cheese. The onions are optional. I have family that won't eat anything if they see an onion visible so I mince it, then when this dish is baked it flavors it. They never complain and they love it when I fix this. I usually bake it between 45 minutes to an hour. Ingredients:
3 -4 large potatoes (sliced thin) |
1 cup of grated cheese (jack, cheddar, your choice, or more) |
1 can evaporated milk |
1/2-1 onion (diced) |
3 -4 tablespoons butter or 3 -4 tablespoons margarine |
salt (to taste) |
pepper (to taste) |
Directions:
1. Place sliced potatoes into ovenproof dish or pan.
2. Add diced onions over top.
3. Sprinkle grated cheese over top of potato/onion mixture.
4. Pour the can of evaporated milk into the same dish.
5. Place sliced butter or margarine scattered over top.
6. Sprinkle salt and pepper over top.
7. Place a baking sheet on the oven floor in case of overflow.
8. Bake in oven at 350 degrees fahrenheit for aproximately an hour.
9. Potatoes will be done when the top is light golden brown, the cheese is melted, and the potatoes are tender.
