Potato casserole

This one is also from the Sandra Lee Money Saving Meals on the Food Network. The show airs on Sundays at 12 noon.

She said this one is only 71 cents per serving:

2 TBSP butter in pan
heat together with:
1 cup milk
Salt and pepper
(you will also need 1/2 cup white shredded cheddar cheese later)

Slice potatoes evenly. I don't think she peeled the potatoes, I believe they still had the skins (more vitamins that way, but I'm sure you can peel them first if you don't like the peels).

Sandra Lee processed them in her food processor. It would help to get the slices thin and uniform, but if you don't have one, you can still do this, just be careful when cutting. I hack a piece of potato off the long side of the potato so it will stay in place while I'm cutting. You're more likely to cut yourself if you have the vegetable rolling all over the place - don't ask how I know that. haha.

Lay out the sliced potatoes in a greased casserole dish. Place the casserole dish on a cookie sheet, so if it overflows while baking, the cookie sheet will catch any mess. Separate the slices as you lay them in so they don't stick together. On the top, pour the butter/milk mixture. Sprinkle over that 1/2 cup of white shredded cheddar cheese.

Bake in a 350 oven for 30 minutes or until browned.
