Potato Side Dish Recipes

    Scalloped Potatoes with Green Peppers
                       ( 8 servings)

   Peel and cut into thin slices:
       Raw potatoes
  There should be 4 cupfuls.
  Melt:
       3 Tablespoons Butter
  Stir in until blended:
       3 Tablespoons Flour
  Cook and stir in slowly:
       1 1/2 cups milk
  Season with:
        1 teaspoon salt
             A few grains of cayenne
  Cook the sauce until it is smooth and boiling.
  Reduce the heat and add:
       1 cup grated cheese (1/4 pound)
  When the cheese is melted add:
       3/4 cups shreadded green pepper.
  You may also add a bit of onion and garlic that    have been saulted at this time if you would like.

  Grease a baking dish and fill it with alternating
  layers of potatoes and cheese sauce.
  Bake the potatoes in a moderate oven 350
  degrees for about 2 hours or until they are
  done.  The potatoes may be turned with a
  spoon while cooking to insure even baking.
  Parboiling the potatoes will shorten the time
  for baking appreciably, but some of the deep
  baked in flavor is lost.
