Scalloped Potatoes with Peppers

There is always room for variation, especially when it comes to potatoes. The base of this recipe is the potatoes and the sauce, made of butter, oil, flour and milk. So feel free to change up the rest. Choose your own selection of seasonings and veg or omit them altogether and go cheese all the way. I'm always creating with the food I have on hand. Don't be afraid to do the same. I dare ya!
