Homemade Scalloped Potatoes.

Is it just me or are potatoes the ultimate comfort food? They never get boring because there are so many ways to make them, I am getting hungry just thinking about them. One of my favorite ways to have them is scalloped. Many people think that they are hard to make but they really aren't. They may seem a little daunting if you do not know how to make them but this method is pretty easy. My grandmother was a cook most of her working life and this was how she made them.

Ingredients:

• 6-8 medium to large potatoes
• 1-2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (depends on the brand and size of the can)
• 1 large onion
• salt
• pepper

Instructions:

1. Grease your cooking pan. and preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Slice your potatoes into 1/4 inch slices. You do not have to be exact this is only a guideline.
3. Chop your onions into whichever size pieces you prefer and add them as well as your potatoes to your pan. 
4. Sprinkle salt and pepper over your potatoes and mix in your cream of mushroom soup. You want your potatoes and onions to be covered in the cream of mushroom soup but you do not want it pooling around the bottom of the pan. 
5. Cover your potatoes with aluminum foil and bake at 400 degrees for approximately an hour or until your potatoes are tender. You can tell if your potatoes are tender by poking a fork through them, if it easily goes through they are done, if it takes effort they are not. 

Please use caution when using an oven and handling hot dishes.

UPDATE: Here is the scalloped potato recipe, I did mine in the slow cooker on high for 3 and a half hours.
