EASY MICROWAVE SCALLOPED POTATOES
This came from a recipe book given to me by my grandmother-in-law. I like it because it cooks in about 1/2 the time of regular (oven) scalloped potatoes, and tastes basically the same. Great for weeknights when time is at a premium, or if you have no room in the oven. (Note, I noticed other recipes for scalloped potatoes call for cheese or other ingredients - this is scalloped potatoes like my mom used to make, basically just white sauce and potatoes. We always eat ours with lots of ketchup on top!)

Steps:
- 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.).
- Blend in flour, salt & pepper. Gradually stir in milk.
- Microwave on High 8-10 minutes, stirring after 4 minutes.
- 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.
- 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).

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes are ideal for scalloped potatoes, as they hold their shape well and have a creamy texture.
- Slice the potatoes thinly and evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly and have a tender texture.
- Use a good-quality cheese: A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese will give the scalloped potatoes a rich and flavorful sauce.
- Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the scalloped potatoes.
- Season the potatoes well: Salt, pepper, and garlic powder are essential seasonings for scalloped potatoes.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender: The potatoes should be tender but still hold their shape when pierced with a fork.
- Let the potatoes rest before serving: This will allow the sauce to thicken and the potatoes to absorb the flavors.
