Woman's day encyclopedia of cookery
that I received as a wedding gift from
Mom. I made it for a family Easter dinner
around 1974. Following the well established
family fear of not having enough
food, I made a lasagna sized pan full.
It took half a day!! The potatoes crack and
fall apart as you try to slice them, leading
me to put aside and "nice" slices for the top
of the dish. The starch buildup on the knife
has to be cleared off after every 3
to 4 slices. There is enough cholesterol
and saturated fat to kill a cow, but... the
end result is delicious. Everyone loved
them. Today, on the rare occasions that
I make this dish, I use fat free sour cream,
but still add the butter because the
flavor is wonderful. If I want a large serving,
I actually make 2 smaller casseroles
and throw the second one in if it looks like
I'll need it. Like so many things with a creamy
sauce, it tends to separate when reheated,
so it's not as good as the first
time around... But still good enough to eat.
