Easy Scalloped Potatoes

I was taught this incredibly tasty dish by my younger sister Cass and it is an absolute family favourite. We don’t tend to have this side dish much just as a part of a standard family meal, it is more of a special treat, one that the kids will choose for me to cook on their birthday. I also find it is a great accompaniment to the meat at a BBQ. You can prepare it earlier in the day and then cook it at the required time and it leaves plenty of space on the BBQ for the meat.
