Microwave Scalloped Potatoes

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons margarine or butter
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 4-6 medium potatoes, sliced
• 1 small onion, sliced

Directions

1. 1

   Put margarine (or butter) into LARGE glass bowl, and microwave on High for 1 minute, or until melted. (If you really like cleaning your microwave, feel free to use a smaller bowl.).

2. 2

   Blend in flour, salt & pepper. Gradually stir in milk.

3. 3

   Microwave on High 8-10 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.

4. 4

   Layer half the potatoes and onion in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Top with half the prepared sauce, then the rest of the potatoes and onion, then the rest of the sauce.

5. 5

   Cover and microwave on High 20 minutes, or until done. (Cooking times will depend on the strength of your microwave; I think ours is in the 1,200-watt range, and 20 minutes usually works just fine for us).
