Hello, my real McCoy!
Escalloped Potatoes(Farm Recipes and Food Secrets from the Norske Nook)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter plus butter for dotting
1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
Dash of pepper
1 teaspoon minced onion
1/4 cup finely chopped celery
1 pint milk and 1 pint cream mixed together
6 to 8 potatoes, peeled and sliced thin (I used Yukon Gold)
Grated cheese (or not)
Diced or chunked ham (or not)
(Say "yes" to cheese.)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350. Place butter and flour in heavy saucepan and stir together with wire whisk until creamy. Add salt, pepper, onion, celery, milk and cream, and cook over medium heat until smooth, stirring constantly.
2. Slice the potatoes thin into 2-quart buttered casserole.
3. Pour the cream sauce over potatoes, dot with butter, and bake 30 to 45 minutes, until a fork goes in easily. (Ours needed the full 45.)
(If using cheese or ham, add it to the cream sauce before pouring it over the potatoes.)
