Paulette's Scalloped Potatoes

These are absolutely delicious and the kind of recipe people request once they have them. This recipe is from Laura's cousin, Paulette Hall from North Dakota.


Ingredients
Sliced potatoes
a small amount of onion
salt and pepper
flour (we make them gluten free)
whipping cream
margarine (I use butter)


Grease a casserole dish. (I use butter when I do.) Add potatoes, onion, salt and pepper. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons flour over the top. Cover mixture with equal amounts of cream and water, or use all whipping cream. If you don't have cream, use all milk and no water. Dot with margarine (butter). Sprinkle with cheese if you wish. Bake at 350 degrees for 1.5 hours uncovered.


It doesn't curdle.

Toffee Squares

Delicious! These Toffee Squares nicely makes approx. 40 pieces

40 Saltines

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

6 to 8 oz. chocolate chips
1 cup finely chopped nuts
Line a jelly roll pan with foil and place saltines flat in the pan. Melt butter and add sugar, boil 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour over crackers. Bake 5 minutes in a 350 degree oven. Remove from oven and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top. Let melt and smooth over the top. Sprinkle nuts over chocolate. Refrigerate until hard and peel off the foil before cutting. Let them reach room temperature before cutting to get nice even squares.

(I usually just break them into pieces.)
I chop nuts in a little chopper I have. Also use mini chips, they melt faster.
