Preparation
Step 1
Peel and thinly slice raw potatoes. Butter a casserole or pyrex dish. Spread the bottom evenly with a layer of potatoes, and season with salt, pepper, butter, a bit of onion chopped fine, if desired; sprinkle with a little flour.
Follow with another layer of potatoes, onion, and seasoning. Continue layering potatoes until the dish is filled.
For extra color and flavor, potatoes may be sprinkled with parsley, bread crumbs tossed in melted butter, with a dusting of paprika on top.
Just before baking, pour a quart of hot milk over the potatoes. Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes.
