Scalloped Potatoes  

Note from Cheri:
Scalloped potatoes was the first dish I ever learned how to cook as a child. Why scalloped potatoes? I'm not sure, probably because my mom had a craving and she wasn't in the mood to fix them herself, so she taught me.

I think the touch of nutmeg adds a wonderful, unexpected flavor, but don't use too much as it can easily overpower.

6 med. potatoes
4 T butter
2 T flour
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
about 1 C milk
salt & pepper to taste

Serves 6-8

Preheat oven to 375°F. Peel potatoes and cut into thin slices. Grease a large glass baking dish. Mix nutmeg and flour together. Chop butter into tiny pieces.

Layer potatoes in bottom of dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and flour/nutmeg mixture. Dot with butter pieces. Repeat until all potatoes are used. Add milk until it comes about 2/3 of the way up the sides of the pan. Cover and bake until potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 40-45 minutes. Uncover during the last 15 minutes of cooking time so the top browns. Serve right from the baking dish.

Tip: If you need to make more than 4 layers, it best to use a larger dish instead. More than that will result in difficulty during cooking.
