How to make Old Fashioned Scalloped Potatoes Recipe - Many a farm girl learned to prepare scalloped potatoes without a recipe. She was told to plan on one potato per person and to vary the number of servings by the size of the baking dish. She would plan on four large potatoes per quart size of the baking dish. Here is the country-style recipe.

Preheat oven to 325F (165C). Grease a baking dish of the appropriate size. Pare potatoes, using 1 per person and 1 extra. Place a layer of potatoes in greased baking dish; sprinkle with a little flour. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and some chopped onion. Dot with butter. Layer potatoes and seasonings until dish is full or within a half inch of the top.

Pour in enough milk to reach top layer. New potatoes tend to be more acidic causing milk to curdle, so if using them, substitute cream or undiluted evaporated milk. Bake 1-1/2 hours or until tender. A 1-quart baking dish yields 4 servings.
