This recipe was made on 10/28/18 as part of mine and my SO's dinner,but most importantly for the " Autumn Fever " event ;) .Since I love using leftovers the recipe was doubled. I did however change the way it was layered, I placed half of the potatoes in the prepared dish,then salted and peppered them and then topped with the onions.Then poured half of the sauce over the top, added the rest of the potatoes, and sprinkled with more S & P. After adding the remaining sauce the top was sprinkled with a small amount of Paprika. About 10 minutes before the spuds were done , I removed the foil so the top could brown up a bit. The baking time was " SPOT ON " We both thoroughly enjoyed this recipe. I do think however the next time that I make this, I will dice the onions instead of slicing them. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe, and " Keep Smiling :) "

I love this dish...the hubby not so much...he wanted to know what I did different...I just said I added cheese...he said don't do that again...well I liked them so much that I had the leftovers for lunch...this is how I make my Mom's scalloped potatoes but without the cheese...I really enjoyed the addition of the cheese...made for FYC tag game...who doesn't like cheese...
