French Potatoes Casserole


A simple dish, so easy to make and so tasty. Without going through too much trouble, this delicious dinner could be ready without a lot of planning.

Ingredients:
3 lbs boiled potatoes cut into thin slices
4 hard boiled eggs cut into this slices
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup sour cream
2 cups grated cheese (cheddar or Monterrey Jack)

All thess yummy ingredients are layered into a dip dish pan. Of course, almost one cup of cheese goes on top. 

It bakes into a 350 F oven for 30 minutes. Ten more minutes under a high broiler until the cheese looks just right.
