Ingredients:
- 2 large potatoes
- 1 onion
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1/2 cup milk
- Butter, for dotting
Instructions:
-
Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350ยฐF (175ยฐC). Spray a casserole dish generously with non-stick cooking spray, such as Pam.
-
Mix the Soup: In a mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, milk, salt, pepper, and paprika. Stir until well blended, creating a creamy soup mixture.
-
Layering: Peel and thinly slice the potatoes into rounds, and slice the onion into half rings. Begin by layering half of the potato slices on the bottom of the prepared casserole dish, followed by half of the onion slices. Pour half of the soup mixture over the potatoes and onions, spreading it evenly. Repeat the layers with the remaining potatoes, onions, and soup mixture, ensuring each layer is evenly distributed.
-
Finishing Touch: Once all the layers are assembled, dot the top of the casserole with small pieces of butter. This adds richness and flavor to the dish.
-
Bake: Cover the casserole dish with a lid or aluminum foil to trap moisture and prevent excessive browning. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 1 hour, or until the potatoes are tender and cooked through.
-
Serve: Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve warm alongside your favorite main dishes.
