HUNGARIAN POTATOES

 

Skin and boil 8 medium round white potatoes, cool. Be careful not to over boil them, because you don't want them to fall apart when you try to slice them (it will make this mushy) - you want nice round slices.

 

Beat together to form "sauce":

2 cubes melted butter (1 cup total)

1 pint sour cream (2 cups)

2 t Lawry’s seasoned salt

 

Slice potatoes when cooled. Layer in a 2.5 quart baking dish (like a round Corningware dish): potatoes, sauce, potatoes, sauce, etc. Bake uncovered 325 degrees for 25-35 min.

 

***to clear up any confusion in the instructions, the word "sauce" is referring to the sour cream, butter and seasoned salt mixture***

 

Cottage Potatoes

 

4 to 6 lg. potatoes, peeled, cooked

4 oz. sour cream

6 oz. cottage cheese

4 T. butter ( I use a stick)

Salt and pepper to taste

Can be made a day ahead & kept in the fridge until bake time.

 

French Coconut Pecan Pie

2 unbaked, 8 inch pastry shells

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

 

In a medium bowl, combine sugar and flour. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs.

Whisk the flour mixture into the eggs until smooth. Stir in the buttermilk, butter, coconut and pecans. Pour into unbaked pie crusts. Bake until center is set, about 45-50 minutes. (I bake mine a bit longer because I like it more set)
