I recently attended a potluck picnic of slow food gourmets and wine snobs.
We gathered around one particular potato dish which was causing a sensation, licking our fingertips and screaming for more.
When pressed for the recipe, the woman who brought the casserole burst into blushing tears. She begged our forgiveness, and then told us the secret of Mother-In-Law Potatoes:
Mother-In-Law Spuds
1 32-oz. package of Ore-Ida Frozen hash browns (Don't defrost them!)
1 c. cheddar cheese
1 c. jack cheese
1 stick butter, melted
1 carton sour cream
1 can cream-of-whatever soup
(Campbell's cream of chicken, mushroom, celery, etc.)
1 bag of potato chips
Place the frozen potatoes in a 9 x 13 baking pan. You can break it up, but don't defrost!
Put all the other ingredients in a bowl, except the chips, and mix them up. Pour and slather the mixture on top of the hash browns.
Crumble about two cups of chips on top.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 min.
It's soooooo yummy. And I'm sure we could figure out a "slow" alternative if we wanted to!
What's your favorite irresistible dairy/potato confection?
