ISO: ISO: Scalloped Potatoes (by nlb, I seem to recall)

In Search Of:
I scared Stephen off when I sent him the recipe with leeks, artichokes and pancetta. He's a

"add hot milk to potatoes" kind of cook.

 
Rec: Aunt Elsie's Buffet Potatoes...Here's an easy recipe he might like.

This was a favorite from my aunt when I was young, and my husband loves it so I still make it occasionally. It's so easy. I use sharp cheddar and add a little extra, If the potatoes are the floury dry kind, or large, add extra cream or milk. I think my mother used evaporated milk when she made it. I also like a couple of chopped green onions in it. The oven temperature is up to you and what else you might have baking. Anything from 325 to 425, just add more time for lower temperatures.
