Scalloped potatoes

This recipe came out of a cookbook I got back in the '60s. The book got ruined in our house fire, but I kept it for years just for this recipe, with little bits of burned paper falling off each time. One day I decided to just save the recipe and toss the cookbook. Duh!

Sometimes I put pieces of leftover ham in it to make a complete meal. I'm thinking it would be a tasty way for Mike to enjoy the low-fat pork without it getting dry. I use skim milk, and you can cut back on the butter without sacrificing taste.

Scalloped Potatoes (serves 4)

4 C thinly sliced potatoes
3T flour
¼ C minced onion
½ t salt
¼ t pepper
1T butter
2C hot milk

Heat oven to 350. Arrange potatoes in 4 layers in 1 ½ qt casserole. Sprinkle the first 3 layers with 1T onion, 1T flour, salt & pepper. Sprinkle last layer with onion, salt & pepper, dot with butter. Pour hot milk over potatoes & bake uncovered 1 hr.
