Ease Level 2
Prep Time 20 minutes Baking time 25 minutes

6 red potatoes, cut into 1/2 inch round slices
3/4 cup butter
1 small onion, chopped
3 T. Spanish Paprika
Salt and Pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Slice potatoes and place in cold bowl of water. Melt butter in an ovenproof skillet, add onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Add paprika and salt, stirring about 2 minutes. Drain potatoes and toss with paprika mixture, stirring to coat potatoes. Place skillet in oven, bake 25 minutes, uncovered, and serve. I found that cast iron skillets work best for this.

Shred the squash and onion. Mix together with beaten egg, cheese, salt and pepper. Add enough flour to make a batter-like substance, fairly thick. Heat non-stick griddle, or griddle sprayed with non-stick spray. Place mixture on hot griddle in about 3-4 inch rounds, flattening slightly. There will be no expansion, so you can place them close together. Cook on one side until golden brown, about 5 min. Turn and cook other side. Keep warm in 250 degree oven while others cook. Serve warm.

24 oz Ore-Ida Potatoes O-Bryan
8 oz Cheez-Whiz (Ragu Cheese Sauce for smoother texture)
16 oz Sour Cream
1 can Cream of Chicken Soup (can substitute cream of celery)
Buttered Cornflakes

That potatoes. Put in ungreased long pan. Mix cheez whiz, sour cream, and soup. Heat until warm (not boiling). Pour over potatoes. Sprinkle with buttered cornflakes. Melt butter and pour over cornflakes until coated.

Comments:

This makes a great dish to take over someplace. However, when you heat this back up or if it has been sitting a day or so in the refrigerator, then the Cornflake topping tends to get a little soggy.
