Ingredients

5 medium potatoes , scrubbed clean and sliced ¼" thick
1 cup chopped onion
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 cups 2% milk
3 tablespoons butter , cubed
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley , (optional)

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Coat the bottoms and sides of an 8x8 baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Lay 1 cup of the potatoes on the bottom of the pan, then sprinkle with ⅓ cup of the onions, 1 teaspoon of flour, salt, and pepper. Repeat the layers 2 more times with the remaining potatoes, onions, flour, salt, and pepper (flour should be the last on the top layer.)
Top the casserole with the butter cubes.
Heat the milk in a small saucepan over medium high heat until hot. Pour the milk over the casserole. Top with the cheese.
Cover the casserole with aluminum foil (or casserole lid) and bake for 50 minutes.
Remove the cover from the scalloped potatoes and bake 15 minutes, until the cheese bubbles and is golden brown.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let stand for 20 minutes, or until the sauce thickens.
