I got this recipe from my friend Stan. He swears by these potatoes. They'd be a good side dish for Easter dinner.


"AU GRATIN" POTATOES


2# frozen hash brown potatoes, thawed

1/4 cup butter

1 medium onion chopped

1 Tbsp. flour

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

2 cups cream

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/4 cup fine bread crumbs

paprika

Saute onions in butter.  Stir in flour, salt and pepper.  Cook until bubbly.  Remove from heat.  Stir in cream and 1-1/2 cups cheddar cheese.  Return to heat until bubbly for 1 minute.  Butter 1-1/2 quart casserole.  Place potatoes in dish.  Pour sauce over and top with the rest of the cheese and the bread crumbs.  Sprinkle top with paprika.  Bake approximately 20 minutes at 375 degrees, or until bubbly hot.

What an easy idea--no peeling and slicing potatoes! Sounds delicious!

Thanks, Sherrie! I think they'd be perfect with ham!

sounds interesting...but I don't think I could bring myself to use frozen potatoes...potato snob?
Marianne M. Mar 15, 2008, 9:03am EDT
I understand, Ellie! I'm always looking for easy in the kitchen. Just call me lazy.

This could be done gluten-free. Sounds good and easy!
