Aunt Tad's Scalloped Potatoes

This is a recipe Grandma Sellers passed on to me that she got through her sister. It's a classic. They are the potatoes Dad grew up on and probably the reason he still loves scalloped potatoes to this day.

  • 4 large potatoes
  • 2 c. white sauce (recipe to follow)
  • 3/4 c. grated cheese (1/4 lb.)
  • 3/4 c. buttered bread crumbs
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
  • 1/4 c. minced green onions
Peel and dice potatoes (1/2 inch slices). Cover them with water (no salt needed). Boil until almost done. Drain off water. Make white sauce while potatoes cook.

White Sauce
  • 2. c milk
  • 2 Tbs. butter
  • 1 1/2 Tbs. flour (heaping)
  • 1 1/2 tsp. paprika
  • 1/8 tsp. pepper
Heat and stir sauce in pan until thick. Add Cream of Chicken soup.

Add alternate layers of potatoes, white sauce, cheese and onions (completing the rotation twice). Sprinkle buttered crumbs on top and bake at 350 degrees for 1/2 hour.

*Note: The recipe doesn't explain what size pan to bake everything in, but I'm assuming from the amount of ingredients you probably need a 9X13 glass pan if possible.
