You know it’s an old recipe when it says cheese is optional. These days, if you serve someone scalloped potatoes without cheese, they’re likely to look at you funny.
Careful if you follow the “times-five” instructions. I’m not a mathematician, but I think five times a quarter is less than five.
From the box of D.E. from Maumee, Ohio.
