Artery-clogging Au Gratin Potatoes!

[imamama]

OMG, it's not often I succeed at "making up" my own recipe, but I've made these about 3 times in the last week! Can't get enough!!!

8-10 small/medium red potatoes, cut into thin slices, then quartered
3 tbsp. butter, melted
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/2 cup milk
onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
appox. 4 thick slices Velveeta, quartered

Grease a 9x13" casserole dish, spread potatoes on bottom. Drizzle melted butter over potatoes. Mix milk, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and spices, pour over potatoes. Place Velveeta cubes on top.
Bake at 425º for 40 minutes.

Enjoy, I have been!!! :D

1/2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped onion
4 med. potatoes peeled and thinly sliced
1/2 cup shredded Colby/Jack cheese
Snipped fresh parsley

In sacuepan combine milk, flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder and cook and stir over med. heat till thickened and bubbly. Stir in onion. Spray a casserole with Pam. Put in half of potatoes, half of sauce then repeat layers. Bake, covered at 350 till potatoes are tender. Remove from oven and sprinkle with cheese. Cover till cheese melts then garnish with parsley.

Hope you enjoy.

Here's my first attempt at figuring out the points of a recipe on my own --- :)
8-10 small/medium red potatoes (12 pts)
3 tbsp. butter, melted (12 pts)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (6)
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese (6 - I'm guessing - I don't have any around to calculate points)
1/2 cup milk (whole? 2 pts)
onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper to taste
appox. 4 thick slices Velveeta, quartered (8 is being generous, since you said 'thick' slices)
So, I've got a total of 46 points for the total recipe - now, how many
should ;) it feed???

This is fun!! LOL ;) And man, does it sound even better!!! :drool:

LMAO :lol: Like I said, go with Kat's recipe!!! One note, though... I do use skim milk.... so, there's one point you can subtract!!! :biglaugh:

It should feed a family of 4 with a few leftovers... but once I get started....well, you can imagine!! (come on Pilates tapes!)
