Sweeties' Scalloped Potatoes

[fitfool]

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
   
   
   
   
   Served up with some chicken

Practice, really. Or use a mandolin (I think that's what it's called) to make it easier to slice evenly. If not a mandolin, I find a good-sized chef's knife is easiest for me to wield for most cutting jobs. But if you can do biology or chemistry lab experiments, you can cook. Same idea of following instructions and making sometimes precise movements but with cooking, you get to eat your experiments!

Unfortunately, I was that guy who owed too much money because my lack of manual dexterity led to a bunch of stuff being broken.

*laugh* I'm glad my school didn't charge me extra for breaking lab equipment! (there was the usual up front lab fee but I don't remember being charged for anything broken during the term)
