Cook the Book: Dutch Oven Scalloped Potatoes
Here's the first of the week's recipes from Robb Walsh's Texas Cowboy Cookbook. These cheesy scalloped potatoes would make a fine meal by themselves but go especially well with, no surprise, grilled meats.
Dutch Oven Scalloped Potatoes

Butter a small Dutch oven or an 8-inch square baking dish; layer half the potatoes on bottom. Sprinkle with 1 cup of the grated cheese and with the remaining butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Layer with other half of potatoes and the onion slices. Add the milk; sprinkle with more salt and pepper over top.

Bake potatoes, covered, until very tender, about 1 hour. Remove cover, sprinkle with remaining 1/2 cup cheese, and bake, uncovered, until potatoes are browned, about 30 minutes. Serve hot.
