Baked Brown Potatoes


These are even more delicious than French-fried potatoes.

§ Potatoes
§ Melted butter
§ salt

Wash and peel potatoes. Slice 1/4-inch thick. Either dip in melted butter or brush with melted butter. Place on a cookie sheet, and sprinkle with salt. Bake in a 350 to 400 degree F oven 20 to 30 minutes until brown.

Champ

§ 2 pounds of potatoes
§ 1 onion, chopped finely
§ 2 bunches of scallions, washed
§ 1 clove of garlic
§ Butter and cream to taste
§ 8 ounces of good quality bacon

Slice the clove of garlic very thinly. Put in large skillet with chopped onion and fry gently in butter until transparent. Cut bacon in half and fry until nice and crispy.

Peel and cook the potatoes until ready to mash. Mash and stir in some butter and cream to taste.

Pile the mashed potatoes in a large serving bowl. With a pair of kitchen scissors, snip the scallions into the potato - half-inch lengths.

Add the crispy bacon, onion and garlic. Mix lightly and season well with salt and black pepper. Serve hot.

Good buffet dish you can prep in advance and bake when most convenient.

Harwichport Potatoes

Russet potatoes work nicely for this delicately flavored fix-ahead potato dish. The pimientos add a good dash of color; the potatoes cook up tender but not mushy.

§ 1 onion, chopped
§ 2 pimientos, cut into thin strips
§ 1/2 pound cream cheese, diced
§ 2 cups thin white sauce

Cook potatoes and onion in salted water for 5 minutes. Drain. Pour into buttered 2-quart casserole dish. Add pimientos. Add the cream cheese to the white sauce and pour over the potatoes. Bake in a moderate (350 degrees F) oven for 45 minutes.
