- Turn off heat under saucepan. Add cheese and grated onion and stir until melted.
- Wash and slice potatoes approximately 1/8 inch thick. Do not peel.
- Place potato slices (and 1 cup sliced onion, if you choose) in a large 3-quart casserole. Note: if you use a smaller casserole, place it on a pizza pan or cookie sheet to catch any sauce that bubbles over.
