1 - It's a very good basic recipe. I'm sure things like chives or thyme or rosemary would make for some pleasant variation, but they aren't required.

2 - It continues to be very good. No changes recommended. 

3 - I think too salty. I've reduced the amount by 1/2tsp

4 - It continues to be a good side dish.

5 - Matched with Garlic Thyme Quinoa Pilaf it makes a very satisfying main course.

3 Tbsps. butter (1½ oz/42gr)
1 small onion, chopped (4oz/115g)
4 medium potatoes, sliced thin (1lb 12oz or 800 grams)
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 cup milk
1 cup grated cheddar (4 oz/115g) (Old English very good)

OPTIONAL - 1 - 2 tsps minced herbs (chives or thyme or rosemary)

1. Sauté onion in butter until they are lightly browned and soft. 
2. Add the potatoes, salt and milk. 
3. Cover and cook slowly, approximately 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. 
4. Remove cover and sprinkle with cheese. Stir in very gently. Serve at once.
