Potatoes - Scalloped Potatoes for a crowd 

To make 3 hotel sized pans hopefully serving 75 people!

In 12 qt pot melt butter. Saute sausage and onion and salt in it until onion is translucent. At this point it became like a soup. I spooned out the onion and sausage into three hotel pans. I roasted these at convection roast *300 while I reduced the remaining liquid. I had to stir the meat and onions frequently. I added the reduced liquid and returned to oven. Add garlic and pepper to the sausage and onion mixture and roast a bit until it is fragrant. In the now empty pot heat the milk. Slice potatoes in food processor. Stir potatoes and the warmed milk into the sausage-onion mixture in the hotel pans. Cover and bake about 20-30 minutes at convection roast 400* until potatoes are just softened and have released their starch into the milk sauce to thicken it a little. Uncover and sprinkle the cheese on top. Cover it again and bake about 30 minutes more until potatoes are just tender. Uncover and bake until bubbly and a bit browned on top and potatoes still hold their shape but are soft. Let cool about 20 minutes before serving for the sauce to thicken and cohere.
