Cheese & Potato Bake (A.k.a. Scalloped Potatoes)

I found this recipe in a cookbook called "The Usborne Children's World Cookbook" and so it's very simple and I've found it to be quite a hit.

These were really good, the only thing I did different was added a layer of real bacon bits over the onions. I didn't like how the egg/cream mixture went to the bottom of the pan and didn't really secure around the potatoes. When I make these again I will stir them up before serving. They were really good though...Reply
