This made very nice scalloped potatoes. I cut the recipe in half because there are only two of us, so maybe I messed up with the liquid because they weren't quite as creamy as we like, or maybe I should have used a waxier potato than the russets I used. Also, I don't have onion salt so I used onion powder, and then when the light finally went off %u2014 YE GODS, NO SALT %u2014 I had to yank them out of the oven after about 5 minutes and try to add salt. I'm making them again today, with some salt (!) and a bit more liquid and I'll bet they'll be even better. (DH ate up the leftovers for lunch the next day, so they certainly were tasty!)
