I made meatloaf last week. Bacon wrapped, stuffed meatloaf to be exact and I was trying to think of some sides to make. I wanted potatoes but not the usual baked, mashed, or fried. I wanted something different. Flash of inspiration – scalloped potatoes.

I started looking through some recipes and found a couple I liked and combined and tweaked them to make my own take on this yummy dish.

Creamy, Crispy Homemade Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients:

• 6 potatoes, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp of onion powder
• 3 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
• 1/2 cup onion, thinly sliced
• 1 1/2 cups milk
• 1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F . Grease a 1-quart casserole dish.
2. Spread 1/3 of the potatoes into the bottom of the prepared dish.
3. Mix flour, salt, Italian seasoning, and onion powder together in a bowl; sprinkle about 1/3 of the mixture over the potatoes.
4. Dot potato layer with about 1/3 of the butter.
5. Sprinkle 1/3 of the onion over the potatoes.
6. Repeat layering twice more.
7. Stream milk over the potato mixture in the casserole.
8. Cover with the shredded cheese.
9. Bake covered about 1 hour. Uncover and bake 15 more minutes.
