1/2 tbsp. paprika

2 1/2 c. milk

seasoned Italian bread crumbs

• Peel potatoes and slice very thin

• In a baking dish, butter well to keep from sticking and place a layer of potatoes in dish.
• Dot with butter and sprinkle with cheese, onions, parsley, salt, pepper, paprika and bread crumbs. (go light on the salt)

• Pour milk to cover potatoes.
