"A great "Classic" recipe from my Fannie Farmer's Cooking School Cookbook dated 1946. This is the only recipe I have used for Scalloped Potatoes for many years. Sometimes simple is best! You can always add bacon, ham, sliced onion or onion powder, garlic, fresh or from the jar or garlic powder, and any other combination of spices you like. Make it the way you like it best, but just like this is supreme!"

This brought back so many memories...this is the way my Mother made her scalloped potatoes...but normally she added sliced onions...she prepared the best meals right before payday...I did add the onions...and used fat-free half and half because I had it available...we loved it...made this for "What's on the Menu" tag game...thanks for sharing...

I added layers of thin slices of sauteed onions and Cheddar cheese to have with a baked ham slice and pickled beets and it was delicious!

I added 1 small sliced onion to the potatoes before putting them in the oven and added about 1 cup of Cheddar cheese over the top the last 20 minutes in the oven and they were so delicious!
