Potatoes Deluxe

Potatoes Deluxe

I got this recipe from Wayne's cousin, but I don't know where she got it from. I am not a photographer, so I hope my pictures don't turn you away from trying some of these recipes. Especially this one! I just took this to a pot luck and came home with nothing, it got all eaten up!

1 (2lb) pkg frozen hashbrowns (i use the southern style)

1 cup diced onions (this is optional, i don't my family doesn't like onions)

1/2 cup margarine

1 (8 oz) pkg grated sharp cheddar cheese

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 cup of sour cream

Thaw potatoes 30 minutes (or until you can break it all up into little pieces). Combine all ingredients. Bake in greased 13 x 9 pan @ 375 degrees for 1 hour.

Taste Rating: 4.5 (we make this a lot)

Difficultly Rating: 2.5 (mix and bake, easy enough!)

Deviled Roasted Potatoes

Deviled Roasted Potatoes
from Cuisine at Home: weeknight meals
Makes 3 cups
Total time: 35 minutes
Whisk Together:
2 T. olive oil
2 T. dry mustard
1 T. white vinegar
2 t. kosher salt
1/2 t. dried dill weed
1/4 t. cayenne
1/4 t. black pepper
Add; Toss:
1 lb. red potatoes, quartered
Now before I give the instructions I would like to tell my variations to this recipe. I only use about 1 T of dry mustard and only do a scant 1/4 t. of the cayenne and black pepper. This recipe has a kick, so this will cut it down a bit. I also cut my potatoes into smaller pieces, probably just slice at one more angle. But I love this recipe, it is full of flavor!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees; line a baking sheet with foil and coat with nonstick spray. Whisk together all ingredients (except potatoes) in a large bowl.
Add potatoes and toss until coated. Place potatoes in a single layer on prepared pan and roast for 25-30 minutes, or until potatoes are tender when pierced. (if you cut them smaller you might want to go with 20-25 min, but still they are ready when they are tender.)
Taste Rating: 4.5
Difficulty Rating: 2
(the hardest part of this is cutting potatoes, because even clean up is easy with the foil protecting your baking sheet!!!)
