Au Gratin Potatoes

Total Time: 1 hr 5 mins Preparation Time: 20 mins Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 6
• 6 -7 medium potatoes
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 (10 1/2 ounce) cans cream of chicken soup (or mushroom or celery or whatever you like, i use 1 chicken and 1 mushroom, usually)
• 1 1/2 cups sour cream
• 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 1/4 cup milk
• black pepper

Recipe

• 1 preheat oven to 350 degrees f. spray a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
• 2 wash the potatoes, or peel if you like. we leave the skins on. slice them thinly, about 1/4 inch thick. boil for about 5 minutes to soften them, but don't overcook them! they should be soft, but not done.
• 3 while potatoes are cooking, put butter and onion in a large microwave-safe dish and cook for 2-3 minutes, until onions are soft and slightly translucent. (i use my large pyrex measuring cup.) add remaining ingredients, mix well, and microwave 3-4 more minutes until bubbling.
• 4 layer potatoes and sauce mixture into greased dish, evenly coating potatoes. top layer should be sauce. bake for about 45 minutes until the top is browned and bubbly.
• 5 (if you're pressed for time, microwave the casserole for about 10 minutes, then stick it under the broiler to brown the top - my family can't tell the difference!).
