GRANDPA'S PARTY POTATOES
My grandpa, who gave me this recipe, liked the way the cream cheese and onion dip created a wonderful velvety texture. I often assemble these potatoes the night before, then pop them in the oven the next day. -Mary Kay Elert, St. Paul Park, Minnesota

PARTY POTATOES
Grandpa Karsky was the grandfather of my daugter's now ex-fiance and from what I hear he was a great cook and a wonderful guy. He passed away before we met the family. It's too bad his grandson didn't follow in his footsteps in being a wonderful guy! :-) This is another Grandpa Karsky recipe and it is creamy and delicious. Not your ordinary potato recipe. The recipe says to refrigerate overnight, which of course you can do, but you can also bake it right away for around 20 - 30 minutes or until it is heated through. Because it can sit overnight it makes it a great recipe for any party because it's already made and you just pop it in the oven! Grandpa Karsky was aparently famous for shortening recipe instructions so I have embelshed this one a bit. Also, sometimes the potatoes are too dry for my tatstes so I've added some milk or some extra sour cream to make them creamier. I have also sprinkled cheese and/or bacon during the last 10 minutes of baking.

GRANDMA'S CHEESY POTATOES
My grandmother makes this every year with a brisket for Christmas dinner. This is hands down my favorite potato recipe ever. I leave the skins on the potatoes, but this is optional. Garnish with chopped green onions or Italian parsley, and top with more cheese for a restaurant 'look.' I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do.
