Maine-Style Scalloped Potatoes

Source of Recipe


The Grassroots Cookbook






List of Ingredients



• 6 large all-purpose potatoes, peeled and sliced very thin
  
• 2 large yellow onions, peeled, sliced thin and separated into rings
  
• 1-1/2 tsp salt
  
• 1/4 tsp pepper
  
• 4 Tbsp flour
  
• 4 Tbsp butter
  
• 2-1/2 cups milk (approx.)
  






Instructions



1. Layer half of the potatoes into a well-buttered 9x9x2-inch baking dish; cover with half of the onion rings. Sprinkle with half of the salt, pepper and flour, then dot with half of the butter. Make a second layer precisely the same way, ending up with flour and butter. Pour in milk just until it is visible in the potatoes -- it should not cover them.
   
   
2. Bake, uncovered, in a slow (300 degrees, F) oven for about 1-3/4 to 2 hours or until potatoes are nicely browned on top.
   
   Makes aboout 6 servings.
   
   TIP: "The trick to scalloping potatoes successfully is to keep the oven heat very low. The milk must not boil, or it may curdle."
