How to Make Buttermilk Scalloped Potatoes

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with nonfat cooking spray.
In a large zip-top bag, combine 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon paprika.
Add 2 pounds thinly sliced russet potatoes (about 4-5 medium) to the bag.
Seal the bag and shake until potatoes are evenly coated with the flour mixture.
Layer half of the potato slices in the prepared casserole dish.
In a medium saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Pour in 1 1/2 cups buttermilk. Heat gently, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Do not boil!
Pour the buttermilk mixture evenly over the potatoes in the casserole dish.
Layer the remaining potato slices on top.
Bake, uncovered, for 60-75 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and golden brown on top.
