You actually here now?

OK. I'm not here. Nor am I gratuitous. But some potatoes au gratin sound pretty good.christie1111 wrote:You actually here now?
Oh, yeah, I know who is number one! Some Peeps on the Bored are happy. I haven't looked at the other scores this weekend though.Beebs52 wrote:While some of the potatoes didn't get done just right enough, the majority of the casserole is killer.

I'll email you some.
Nope. This was my own personal bastardization of au gratin potatoes. Sort of a toned-down version of the book thing, which is way too labor intensive, although disgustingly good. I have decided that crushing seven garlic cloves and adding them to the container of sour cream is an inspired portion of the recipe. Dang. It's just good. I didn't hashbrown the potatoes either.christie1111 wrote:Oh, yeah, I know who is number one! Some Peeps on the Bored are happy.

Email is prolly better. That interoffice envelope would prolly be a bit messy.
Is the recipe in the book?

I have, and the next time I make this that's what I'm going to do. It's so much easier than messing with the water and the pan, etc. I will chop them suckers up and cut the time in half.christie1111 wrote:Received. I will give due credit. Sounds awesome.
Do you ever microwave potatoes? When they are as done as I would like, a quick zap has saved me more that once.
I also like to microwave baking potatoes first and then finish in the oven to crisp up. Really shortens baking time.
Sorry, the Martha in me can not be supressed.
