I baked the above spud and onion casserole on 08-12-13.  Click on thumbnail sequence pixs for a larger screen view:

NOTE:  I had some potatoes sitting around that were beginning to grow "eyes" and came up with this recipe impromptu to use    them up on 11-22-11 and those that tried this recipe liked it very much.  I had a similar serving of spud n onions in Morocco, Africa around 1966 which was served in a hollowed out French hoagie roll for breakfast.  The above spuds n onions baked on 08-12-13 had more Russet potato than my recipe calls for but wanted to use them up before they went bad.  The below pix was added on 11-12-12.
