Scalloped Potatoes

Total comfort food for a dark and stormy night. Scalloped Potatoes with golden carrots...........

Slice very thinly  enough potatoes to fill your casserole dish. Keep , covered in cold water, till you make the dish. Slice up about 4 or 5 carrots, very thin, and keep in the same water. You can also slice up some peeled yams to add to the potatoes.....very, very good.
A few hours later, spray a casserole dish with Veggie Spray. Layer potatoes/carrots, and a small chopped onion,  with a small sprinkle of flour ( not much), pepper and a dash of cinnamon. On final layer, pour over all 3 cups or 3 1/2 cups of milk adn whipping cream, combined. You decide on the porportions. But the cream really adds to the flavour. Dot the top with a little butter, sprinkle with fresh parsely, pepper, and a bit of grated cheese. Do not use too much cheese, it is just to colour the top.
   Bake at 350 for about an hour and a half till bubbly. I recommend placing your casserole dish ( which will feel heavy), on a cookie sheet. It WILL bubble over, so the cookie sheet will catch the drips.
    Absolutely wonderful......You can add salt if you wish, to taste, but doesn't need it.
