Almond Vegetables Mandarin in the Kennewick 14th Ward Cookbook pg 85
Also the potatoes I make at Christmas are in the cookbook, pg 84 . side note : large meaning baker potatoes or use about 10 4 -5 inch potatoes. I prefer parboil them til done and let cool before shredding.
And I have started using more sour cream and cottage cheese - plus I cut up a half stick of butter and stir in, as well. of course s&p to taste.
Green Beans in a Mist on the same page are super yummy! Original recipe came from my Aunt Pat.
