Scalloped Potatoes



Ingredients
• 5 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
• 3/4 cup chopped onion
• 3 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 3/4 cups chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• Paprika
• Bacon

Directions
1. In a 2-1/2-qt. baking dish, layer potatoes and onion.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth, mayonnaise, salt and pepper; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thick and bubbly. Pour over potatoes. Sprinkle with paprika.
3. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 2 hours or until tender.

The potatoes I bought were GINORMOUS, so I ended up making 1.5 servings of the mixture to fully coat the potatoes. Glad I did that because I think the consistency came out perfect. I liked it a lot. I made homemade bacon bits and threw about 1/4 cup between the first and second layer of potatoes as well as on top. Perfect dish for this carbo-holic! I think this and the brie tied for my favorite items made today.
