Episode 14: PAHDEE PUHTAYTOEZ

this cookin' cutie has had wayyy too much time on her hands. HEROW NEW RECIPEEZ.

and that's right. you heard me...PARTY POTATOES. so easy. so cheezy. so delish. SOOO low cost. and will feed a lot of party-comers!

ingredients:
-1 bag of frozen hashbrowns (30 oz/10 cups)
-1 can of cream-of-whatever soup. i used cream of celery to be vegetarian friendly, but cream of chicken may better satisfy a carnivore's taste buds.
-1/4 cup of milk
-1 onion (diced)
-LOTSA CHEEZ. sharp cheddar and italian blend were used in this recipe. at least 2.5 cups.
-10 oz. of sour cream. i used 'light', just because i didn't want the final product to be a little lighter in texture.
-salt and pepper
-large mixing bowl, stirring/mixing utensil, aluminum foil

recipe:
-preheat oven to 350.

-pull frozen hashbrowns out of the freezer and leave out to thaw a bit. you want them to be still frozen when you begin to combine ingredients, but thawed enough that the shredded taters can separate.

-in a large mixing bowl, combine your diced onion, cheese, and sour cream and stir up.

-toss around your bag of hashbrowns to separate the shreds. pour on top of your mixed ingredients.

-stir up your ingredients some more and then dump in your can of condensed soup. DO NOT ADD WATER TO YOUR SOUP FIRST.

-it should be easier to stir by this point, but pour your milk in anyway.

-season your mixture with salt n pepa.

-spread mix into a 13x9 baking pan or casserole dish and cover with aluminum foil.

-bake at 400 for 45 minutes.

-take foil off, top your dish off with some added cheese spread over the top, and continue to bake until cheese is melted and browning.

party potatoes in action!

ENJOY! OM NOM NOM NOM HAPPY DANKSGIVING! love, jules.
