"I got this recipe from the book "Don't Panic-Dinner's In the Freezer". This dish tastes just like the fried potato cakes my Mom used to make back in the day. The only thing I do different is to cook my potatoes in the microwave and use a small cookie scoop to remove the potato pulp. I have also left the skins on and mashed them that way. My family loves it either way!"

This dish emitted a delicious aroma while it was baking and it tasted so good too that we just had to serve this with fried chicken. It's cheesy and creamy and so filling! Later, I dipped it in gravy and oh, boy! It's so divine! Thanks for sharing! Made for PAC Fall 2008.

I am all about my FAMILY. Married to my DH 28 yrs, have 3 grown children Nic 26 (for 9th time), Amber T. 33yo & Cris 27yo, 5 grandchildren D-Man 13, Sierra 10, Sydnie 5, Alexis (Lexie) 5 & Haley Bug 4. Owned by 1 22 mo female, black Pug named Puggles (aka Puggie)-should have named her Wiggle Butt. I have recently become interested in OAMC cooking & this site has a multitude of recipes so I decided to join. I used to work & had no life other than that. Now I spend lots of time with my g-kids & I'm much happier! I create greeting cards for family, friends & gifts. I am addicted to The Sims 2 & 3 PC video game. In this game you are basically God. You create Sims (people) & everything they use in their "lives" (its a game). All my grandchildren love to play Sims & that's why there is a version of Sims1-2 or 3 is on 3 of our computers!!
