Scalloped Potatoes

I love these potatoes! This is the basic recipe, but you could add ingredients, change the cheese or seasonings to your taste. It requires some extra baking time, but I think it's worth it!

Ingredients:
4 large potatoes
1/4 cup butter
1/2 lb cheddar cheese, shredded
1 cup diced onion
1 T salt
1 t pepper
Paprika
About 2.5 cups milk

Preheat oven to 450. Butter 12x8x2 baking dish.
Set aside 1/4 cup of cheese for the top.
Peel and slice potatoes and put a layer in the bottom of the baking dish. Dot with butter, sprinkle thickly with cheese, onion, salt, pepper and enough paprika to redden. Do this until you have four layers. Pour the milk in, just up to the top row of potatoes.
Bake at 450 for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 350 and sprinkle on reserved cheese. Bake until tender, about 2 hours.
