Scalloped Potatoes

3 to 4 c thinly sliced potatoes (I used about 6 med potatoes)  
1 tbsp. minced onion
1.25 c hot milk.
salt
pepper
1-2 tbsp margarine

After slicing your potatoes layer them in your baking dish, (A food processor comes in really helpful here.)
Sprinkle each layer of potatoes with minced onion, salt, & pepper and dot with butter/margarine.
Once you have all your potatoes layered in the dish add your hot milk.
Bake uncovered about 1 hr 15 min.

 The recipe calls for minced onion, I can't use onions in my cooking at all anymore thanks to allergic reaction, so that part I leave out and my family still likes it, a lot.  Also, I use evaporated milk in place of  2% or whole, it just adds a creamier flavor to the dish.  We usually add something to the dish such as ham or Lil' Smokies, and really love to layer cheese in with the salt/pepper/margarine.
Also, if I use cheese, I leave out the margarine completely.  With anything added to the recipe (unless it's liquid) I find it works better if you layer it in with each layer of the potatoes.

Like with all recipes, I play around with them until everyone is happy.
I have found that using my 1.5 qt. casserole dish and cooking this with the lid on works just as well as open cooking and saves a little time if you're in a hurry to get dinner on the table.
