SWISS POTATO SQUARES
Meet the Cook: To vary these squares, you can substitute cheddar cheese for the Swiss or try Canadian bacon in place of the ham. However you can make them, they taste wonderful reheated in the microwave. So you can serve the squares warm as leftovers, pack them in a thermal lunch carrier or put them on a potluck table. -Nancy Foust, Stoneboro, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Use the right potatoes: Choose a starchy potato, such as russet or Idaho, for the best results. These potatoes will hold their shape better when cooked.
- Cut the potatoes evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. If the potatoes are not cut evenly, some pieces may be overcooked while others are still undercooked.
- Soak the potatoes in water: This will help to remove excess starch from the potatoes, which will prevent them from sticking together.
- Season the potatoes well: Use a variety of seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Cook the potatoes until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy exterior.
