  • Wow, these look absolutely yummy. I've always made my own version of Scalloped potatoes. I've been making them the same for 50 years and finally found an easy way. Usually, I layer, pot., layer onion flakes, layer cheese, layer flour, layer salt/pepper then drizzle with milk repeat and repeat and repeat until I'm exhausted. Thank you, so much!
