A great potato recipe... so easy and absolutely delicious. The left overs are just as good, maybe even better the next day. This is one of my favorite and most prepared recipes, from my 1971 Florence Junior Welfare League Cookbook.

Easy to understand how this got so many good ratings. I changed the servings to 9 and followed the recipe except for adding about 1 cup of sauteed onions and 3 cups diced ham. Baked it in a sprayed 9x11 pan for about 90 minutes. My 3 grandkids (two of whom are teenagers) and I ate the entire pan full. It was delicious!!!

    Vicki, This recipe was a godsend. Had planned to make a So. Living dish and then saw it took 2 hours to bake. After making your recipe, I threw the other out. These are the best potatoes - and easy to make!! I threw in 1/4 cup of chopped green onions - had them in the 'frig - and it kicked it up a notch (for anyone who loves onions). Thanks for sharing — will serve this again and again!

    Vicki, wow, wow, wow! This was my first attempt at home made scalloped potatoes and they were awesome. I didn't have any cheddar, but had slices of swiss, so I chopped those up and melted them in the while sauce. Yummy! I recently purchased this coolest little manual food processor off of HSN or one of those TV shows. It came with (I think it's called a mandolin). It's one of those gadgets that has a gripper that holds the potato and you run it back and forth over a plate with a slicing blade in it. It sliced the potatoes sooo thin that I was able to cut the cooking time in half. Also, I put them in a huge pan so the layer was thin too! Thanks for much!
