Christmas Potatoes

With Christmas approaching I thought this recipe would be appropriate to post. I use to make these all the time at Thanksgiving. It is a little along the lines of a scalloped or au gratin potato. 

Christmas Potatoes

4-5 medium size potatoes, peeled and sliced about ¼” thick rounds

1 medium onion, sliced in rings

1 jar pimientos

Salt, 1 – 2 tsp.

White pepper, 1 -2 tsp.

1 can evaporated milk

Fresh parsley, chopped (may use dried) – 2 tbsp fresh, 2 tsp dried

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Put sliced potatoes into a shallow pan with just enough water to cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil and boil for approximately 5 min. Remove from heat and drain. Put all ingredients into an oven safe dish except for the parsley. Bake for 30 minutes stirring every 10 min to keep milk from clabbering. Check potatoes for doneness. Should be fork tender. Remove from oven and toss in the parsley.

Makes a very pretty dish and serves 4 easily.

Happy cooking and good eating!
