Drunken Soldier Potatoes

Scrub potatoes well; do not peel.

Cut crosswise into 1-inch slices and stagger them like drunken soldiers in slanted rows in buttered 9 x 3-inch baking dish, sort of leaning on each other. Pour melted butter over potato slices, covering all elapsed surfaces.

Sprinkle with cheese, paprika, salt and pepper.

Bake at 350° for 1 to 1 1/4 hours until deep golden brown and crisp. Serves 8 people.
