Funeral potatoes

Tastes great, easy to make, easy to store for later. But a lot of shortcut can be disastrous. Easy the amounts don't have to be the same every time to get great results. Wash potatoes. boil potatoes until fork goes in easy but doesn't break apart. peal, grate. Note potatoes will be hot. Short cute that works frozen has-browns. Brake apart and cover bottom of casserole dish more can be added before baking. Don't use instant, mash potatoes, slice, or dice. This type of shortcut may seem like it saves time but they don't give the texture that makes this taste great. So you have started the potatoes boiling. now is the time to start the sauce. Cream of chicken is best but celery or mushroom will work or combinations of the three can be used. start with one can of soup. Add about a cup of cheese grated melts the fastest but sliced, cubed or what ever you have will work. sharp Cheddar, provolone, fresh Parmesan, Colby are great. Any or all work heat low. mix often to avoid scouring. add a splash of milk mixture should be quit thick but stir-able. minced ham can be added or chopped chicken. and a spoonful or two of sour cream. pepper, garlic, onion, or celery are nice to flavor to taste. once cheese is melted and mixture completely heated pour on top of potatoes. About half mix then add more until evenly mixed. you can leave like this or sprinkle with bread crumb, Crushed crackers (Rites crackers, Chicken in a basket), corn flakes, or frenchies fried onion. At this point you can store for later. Freeze for a few weeks. refrigerate for a couple of days. Or put into oven. bake until heated and top is browned. 375'F for 20 minute if put right into oven. longer if coming out of refrigerator. leftovers can be reheated with sour cream or milk to get a fresh taste.

Potato Salad

Potato Salad is a long time Favorited. It can be made all fresh or parts can be leftover or pre-planed to save time later. Potatoes can be washed and or peeled and cooked in advance I cube them before cooking. Eggs can also be boiled in advance I would leave shells on until they are used. The amounts don't matter that much in making this dish. Also it give the leeway to make the recipe your own. Start with cooked potatoes. Add Salad dressing or miracle whip until coated. add mustard dry or prepared to give color. Or to taste celery may be add I prefer minced this gives good flavor with out the chance of getting a mouth full of celery string for those that have problems de-ribbing celery. paprika Black pepper onion powder or fresh minced add a couple of boiled eggs to the mix and save some to slice for the top. parsley also looks nice on top. Other seasoning may be may be add to taste. Chill and serve leftovers need to be kept refrigerated when creating this or trying new things sample often. Also removing small amounts and adding to that may help prevent ruining the whole dish if flavor is not to your liking.
