Potato Casserole
"Taken from Tasteful Traditions Cookbook by Women for Abilene Christian University. These are "Linda's Potatoes" and they are delicious with steak and prime rib. I have made this dish dozens of times and it always comes out perfect. This dish is great for holidays and dinner parties because they are very rich tasting and even picky kids love them. This can be made ahead of time, chilled and then cooked before serving."

So Delicious! I prepared it ahead of time and then put it into the oven about 20 minutes before my roast chicken was due out of the oven. And it was piping hot and ready to serve with the chicken. So you can successfully prepare this in advance, even though it's not that difficult or time-consuming to do with regular meal prep. But it is a wonderful dish that won't disappoint. Thanks, southern_gal12000. Made for Spring 2011 Pick-A-Chef. -
This is a delicious and simple make-ahead casserole. Wouldn't change a thing. -
An easy recipe that uses ingredients I keep on hand that resulted in a very creamy and delicious potato side dish. I omitted the onion. Thanks for sharing your recipe southern_gal12000 -
Excellent! I made 1/2 the recipe for Easter Dinner and made it exactly like the recipe said. Someone else brought another potato dish but mine got rave reviews and some had seconds. There were no leftovers either but there were some left of the other potato dish. Really easy recipe too. -
A very easy and tasty side dish! I had to omit the bacon, as we didn't have any. Next time, I'll be sure to use it, as it would complement the dish perfectly! I added just a touch of garlic powder, but otherwise kept to the recipe. Thanks!

Born and raised in Texas. Grew up on a farm and ranch riding the plow with my dad and feeding the cows. I started cooking early by baking cookies on Sunday afternoons and cooking stuff like bacon and eggs, burgers and steaks. My love of cooking increased while being on my own in college. I've been cooking for over 20 years. I'm married with a boy and girl. I work at my daughter's school part-time.
