GRAYCE'S SCALLOPED POTATOES

Good morning.  Well another great weekend in the books.  Looks like our really warm, beautiful weather is here to stay.  Glorious!

Even though it is warm, grilling is probably taking over as far as meals are concerned, today I am giving you my Scalloped Potato recipe.  They are so good and such a welcome change if you are serving potatoes that it is worth firing up the oven.  If you are a potato lover, and who isn't, you must try these.

GRAYCE'S SCALLOPED POTATOES

6 Potatoes sliced very thin
1 cup of diced Pancetta (Trader Joe's in the Deli section or buy a piece at your market and dice it yourself)
1 bunch of green onions
2 cups Cheddar cheese
Flour
Milk
Salt and pepper

Slice the potatoes very thin.
Chop the onion using the whole onion (all the green).  Saute the pancetta just until it is a little brown and crisp.  Butter a casserole.  Mix the drained pancetta with the onions.  Put a layer (2 deep) of potatoes,  sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of flour, salt and pepper, and some of the pancetta and onion. Dot with a little butter.  Sprinkle with a handful of the cheese.  Repeat, ending up with a single layer of the potatoes.  Pour in milk gently just to cover.  Put a layer of cheddar over the top.  Bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until the potatoes are tender.  So Yummy!  You won't have any leftovers, I guarantee.

Thanks for stopping in today
Ciao
