How to Make Microwaved Scalloped Potatoes

In a 2-quart microwave-safe casserole dish, whisk together 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
Add 2 pounds thinly sliced potatoes (about 4 medium) and 1/2 cup thinly sliced yellow onion to the casserole dish.
Stir gently to combine, ensuring potatoes are coated in the sauce. Cover the dish with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap, leaving a small vent for steam.
Microwave on high for 15 minutes. Then, rotate the dish 180 degrees, remove the lid (or carefully peel back plastic wrap), and microwave for another 10-15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender and the sauce has thickened. Check for doneness at the 10-minute mark; cooking time may vary depending on your microwave.
Let the casserole stand, covered, for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the potatoes to finish cooking and the sauce to set.
