Scolloped Potatoes

Several questions re: potatoes for Easter. A very easy way to make delicous scolloped potatoes is this:

4 baking or new red potatoes to equal 2 lbs, sliced

1 onion, sliced thin (if desired)

2   cups milk

2 cups shredded mild or sharp cheese, depending on your taste

Salt and pepper to taste

Parsley flakes

1 teas garlic powder

1 stick of butter

Spray a pyrex dish with Pam. Mix milk and seasonings (even parsley flakes) together. Put a layer of  potatoes in bottom of dish. Pour 1/3  of milk mixture over potatoes. Melt butter and pour about 1/3 cup over this layer.  Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese. Repeat layers until you use all of the potatoes and milk mixture and butter mixture.  Bake, covered at 350 degrees for about 50 min. Uncover and  check for doneness. If done, sprinkle remaining cheese over top and bake an additional 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly. If potatoes need additional baking time, do not add the cheese until they are completely done. Then uncover and sprinkle cheese over top and bake until melted.  Remember the deeper the dish you are baking in, the longer it will take the potatoes to get done. If you are baking in a long shallow dish, they will cook in almost half the time listed here.
