  Potato Casserole

This is my grandmother's recipe, adapted by my mother. I love it, and it's easy to make. Potatoes are super cheap here, so I like to make it too. You can also add ham in the layers to make it more substantial.

cheese not pictured


  8-11 red potatoes
 
3-4 cups shredded cheese
paprika

1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1 cup sour cream
1/2 - 1 cup sliced green onions
seasoning (we use Kirtland's No Salt Seasoning)
Photobucket 
Steam potatoes.

Shred cheese.  If you have a Kitchenaid shredder attachment you can use the coarse shredder (you can use it again later to shred the potatoes).
Pour soup and seasoning in bowl.
Slice green onions.
Add green onions to bowl. 
Add a little cheese to bowl.
 
Pour a third of mixture in a 9x13 pan.
Make sure potatoes are done.
Shred half of potatoes in pan.
Cover with half of cheese.
Layer a third of the soup mixture in pan.
Shred the rest of the potatoes in pan.

Pour rest of soup mixture in pan.
Top with the rest of the cheese.
Sprinkle paprika over cheese.
Bake at 375 degrees until cheese is lightly browned (usually 30-40 minutes).

  Scallops

While home in Washington my mom made scallops. So good!! And easy :-)



Photobucket 
1 lb. scallops
butter and olive oil to coat pan
seasoning to taste (we used Kirtland's no-salt seasoning)

Sauce:
1/2 cup mayo
2-3 Tbsp. capers
Photobucket 
Saute scallops in butter and oil on high heat (you want to cook them hot and fast so they don't turn out tough). 

Sprinkle seasoning.
 
When browned, flip over and saute other side (each side usually takes 2-3 minutes, depending on size).
Serve!
Mix mayo and capers together.
