Steps:

• 12" Dutch oven with 9-inch glass, 2 qt. casserole dish (or dish that is non-glass). You can also use 10-inch Dutch oven without dish.
• Soak potatoes and salt for 1 hour. Drain (save water for mixing with milk). Grease casserole or line Dutch oven in foil and layer 1/2 of potatoes in bottom. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and 1/2 of onion and 1/2 of cheese powder. Layer remaining potatoes, then salt and pepper, onion, and remaining cheese powder. Mix reconstituted milk and whisk in flour.

• Use 24 briquettes: 8 on bottom, 16 on top. Bake in Dutch oven, checking every 15 minutes. On the 3rd checking, sprinkle bread crumbs over potatoes. Cover and bake 15 more minutes. Be sure bottom does not burn. It would be best to make a foil ring* to set casserole dish on. Cook 1 hour, checking every 15 minutes.
• *To make a foil ring: Take an 8" sheet of foil, roll up like a snake, shape into a coil, flatten slightly, and you have a baking rack to use in your Dutch oven.
