AMERICA'S FAVORITE VEGETABLE

AMERICA'S FAVORITE VEGETABLE
RECIPE FOR:  EASY POTATO CASSEROLE

AMERICA'S STORYTELLER


 I like potatoes:  baked, boiled, fried, grilled, mashed,  roasted, and steamed.


I like potatoes:  red, yellow, russet, white, blue and purple.

Any way you slice it - dice it -  mash it -  fry it:  I like potatoes.  

Most Americans agree...with 95%  saying they put potatoes on their plate at least two days each week; and 50% reported they ate potatoes four to seven days a week.
February is Potato Lover's Month.


 “We’ve always known it, but it’s now official -- potatoes are America’s favorite vegetable,” says Frank Muir, President/CEO, Idaho Potato Commission. “As many Americans are pinching pennies, they’ll be relieved that savoring spuds numerous days during the week will not only please their palates, but also their pocketbooks!” 

Here's my recipe for EASY POTATO CASSEROLE to make in your slow cooker/crock pot.  Remember not to remove the cover unnecessarily...as this results in a major heat loss, and don't cook without the cover in place.  The slow cooker should be at least half-filled for best results. 


EASY POTATO CASSEROLE
  • 1 Pound Bag Southern Style Frozen Hash Brown Potatoes
  • 1 (10 Ounce) Can Condensed Cheddar Cheese Soup
  • 1 (12 Ounce) Can Evaporated Milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter Melted
  • 1/2 Teaspoon Salt

PLACE Hash Brown Potatoes in Crock Pot/Slow Cooker. 
  1. COMBINE Soup, Milk, Butter, and Salt...and STIR together to mix.
  2. POUR mix over Potatoes.
  3. COVER and COOK on *LOW for 6 to 7 hours in crock pot.
*Only the LOW setting is recommended for cooking this recipe in a crock pot/slow cooker.

Makes 10 servings.


"What I say is that, if a fellow really likes potatoes,
he must be a pretty decent sort of fellow."

(1882-1956, English Humorist, Creator of Winnie-the-Pooh)
