6 medium red potatoes
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup margarine plus 2 tablespoons, divided
1 1/2 cups sour cream *
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Boil potatoes, then drain, cool, and peel. Grate potatoes, placing them in buttered 9x13-inch casserole. To make the sauce, sauté onions in 1/4 cup margarine. Add sour cream and shredded cheese to melt. Add other ingredients. Heat thoroughly and pour over cooked and grated potatoes. Dot with remaining 2 tablespoons margarine. Bake 35 minutes in 350° oven. May be frozen prior to baking.

*If I have only one carton of sour cream (8 ounces) on hand, I rinse the carton with 1/2 carton of milk which works very well.
