NEW ORLEANS POTATOES
My husband and I had a favorite restaurant called Harrigan's. They are no longer in business and we miss their menu so much. They served this New Orleans Potato Casserole and it was one of our favorites. I searched for the recipe and finally found one however it called for 5 pounds of potatoes. I have modified the recipe to use about 1.5 pounds of potatoes. I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! This recipe makes about 4 cups of casserole.

Steps:
- 1. Wash 5 medium (about 1.5 pounds) red skin potatoes thoroughly with a vegetable brush.
- 2. Cut into cubes with the skins on and gently boil until the potatoes are tender (I add a little salt to the water as they are cooking).
- 3. Drain the potatoes and return them to the hot pan. Turn the fire back on if needed to evaporate the water from the potatoes.
- 4. Partially mash the potatoes.
- 5. Stir in sour cream, cream cheese, grated cheddar cheese, bacon bits (I use Oscar Meyer or Hormel. They come in 3 oz. containers so I use half) & green onion (thinly sliced including the green tops).
- Spray a casserole dish lightly with cooking spray and add your casserole. Serve immediately or keep warm in a 200 degree oven for up to 1 hour.

Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Yukon Gold or red potatoes are best for this recipe as they hold their shape well when cooked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the potatoes will not cook evenly.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the potatoes.
- Don't stir the potatoes too often: Stirring the potatoes too often will prevent them from getting crispy.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
- Serve the potatoes immediately: New Orleans potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked.
