Waiting for Pay Day Potato Casserole

This recipe was developed when my daughter and I were a week from pay day and the cupboards were looking thin.  It is delicious and filling and makes a great side dish.  I have also included some ingredients below the recipe that can be added to kick it up or when the cupboards aren't bare.  This is a great covered dish to bring to family and friends gatherings.  

 4 large russet potatoes, scrubbed, peeled, and cut into 1/4 inch rounds
 1 onion, diced small or in thin rings
 1 can cream of chicken soup
 2 Tablespoons butter/margarine
 1/2 Tablespoon garlic powder
 1/2-1 Tablespoon parsley flakes
 1/2 cup milk
 1 cup grated cheddar or your favorite cheese
Additions:
5 slices bacon, fried and crumbled (Layer with potatoes)
1 cup diced ham  (layer with potatoes)
1/2 cup sour cream (add to soup and milk)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Grease or spray a 2 1/2 quart casserole dish.  I like to use an oval or square one.  Place one layer of potatoes in the bottom of dish, lightly season with pepper and salt, sprinkle part of the diced onions on top. Dot with butter.  Add next layer of potatoes, season with salt and pepper and top with onions. Dot with butter. Repeat in this order until potatoes and onions are used.  In a small bowl, mix soup, milk, garlic power and parsley flakes and pour on top.  Cover with foil and bake for 35-40 minutes or until potatoes are tender.   Remove foil and top with cheese; bake 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
