Sweeties' Scalloped Potatoes

I love potatoes. Here's a recipe that Michael made up that tasted great. Luckily, we were smart enough to remember to write it down but he's one of those intuitive cooks so quantities are estimates.

5-6 medium potatoes (peeled and sliced thinly)
1 large onion (sliced thinly)
1-2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable broth)
cream (and we've substituted in milk too when we didn't have cream)
parmesan cheese
salt & pepper
paprika
lemon juice
butter


  1. In a casserole dish, place several tabs of butter on the bottom.
  2. Layer thinly sliced (coin-shaped) potatoes next in an overlapping pattern (scalloped)
  3. Add good splash of chicken broth (or vegetable broth), small splash of cream, salt, & pepper, paprika, parmesan cheese
  4. Add a layer of thinly sliced onion
  5. Repeat layer of potatoes
  6. Repeat broth, cream salt & pepper, parmesan, paprika, lemon juice
  7. alternate as above
  8. Bake, uncovered, in a 375F oven for 1 hour

Just a splash of cream each time. We hardly ever use cream and the container feels practically full after we make this dish so I doubt it comes out to much. Maybe a quarter-cup of cream at most.
