Julia's Collections

When my mother passed away 20 years ago, my sisters and I had the not-so-fun job of going through her treasures. No one spoke for her recipe collections, so I grabbed them. You see, my mom was a fantastic cook. It seemed a shame to me to have those recipes go unclaimed! Well, here we are, 20 years later; and those recipes have rested in their special place on my closet shelf waiting to be tried . . . .

Don't Need a Funeral to Love These - Potato Casserole Supreme and Scalloped Potatoes

I knew that one recipe wouldn't be enough for 20 of us, so I tried two different variations of what we lovingly call in Utah "funeral potatoes." These came by the nickname because they're frequently served at family luncheons after funerals. For both of these recipes, I used frozen grated hash browns. SO easy! The Potato Casserole Supreme is a recipe from my mother-in-law, Vera. The Scalloped Potatoes is I'm sure from Geralee, but it's not noted on the card. Be sure to add salt to this recipe.

POTATO CASSEROLE SUPREME
Boil 6-7 potatoes with jackets. Cool, peel, shred.Grease 9 x 13 pan.Heat 1/2 cup. Margarine, 2 cans cream of chicken soup, 1½ cups grated cheese, 1 pint sour cream, 1/3-1/2 cup grated onion.Mix above and pour over potatoes. Mix lightly with fork. Sprinkle with 1 cup crushed corn flakes with 2 tbsp. melted butter mixed in. Bake uncovered 350°F 45 min. Good.


SCALLOPED POTATOES
Use grated cooked potatoes. Use 9 x 13 pan. 5 or 6 potatoes. A little onion grated. Pour 1 pint whipping cream over. Dot with margarine. Top with grated cheese & bake.
