Baked Potato Smorgasbord Recipes

POTATO AND ONION BAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F /180°C. (see note 5)
• Use some of the butter (about 1 tbsp) to grease the bottom and sides of a 8 cup/2litre baking dish. Place this on a baking tray for easy.
• Peel and finely slice the onions.
• Use a mandolin, food processor or sharp knife to cut the potatoes into 1/8 inch (3-4mm) thick disks.
• Arrange a layer of potatoes in your prepared baking dish, then top with onions, some of the chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Repeat the layers finishing with a top layer of potatoes and rosemary.
• Add any remaining herbs and seasonings to your broth and then pour it carefully over the potatoes, ensuring that it just covers the top layer.
• Dot the remaining 2 tbsp of butter over the top of the dish, cover the dish with foil and then transfer the baking dish and tray to the oven.
• Cook for 60 minutes then remove the foil and cook for a further 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are tender and the top is golden and crisp. (see note 5&6)

BAKED POTATO SMORGASBORD

Steps:

• *** Invite family and friends to your home, or do a "Potato Pot Luck" at church! Easy and fun! We did this years ago at a different church, we made a sign up sheet for all who wanted to attend, we had certain ingredients listed and left "Surprise Us" spots on the sheets... we had an amazing assortment of ingredients! The ingredients in this recipe are left overs and what we had on hand.
• Pick out desired potatoes, amount and size. In this recipe we used HUGE potatoes.
• Wash potatoes, trim off any ugly spots. Poke fork into potatoes several times. Put in 375 degree oven and bake for 1 hour (more if needed).
• Remove from oven to plates.
• Cut potatoes open and flatten out a bit.
• Add butter on top. *** I do not salt the potatoes as there should be enough flavor from toppings.
• For the Polish Potato: Add sour cream, sauerkraut, ham, Polish sausage and cheese.
• Add more sauerkraut (optional), shredded cheddar cheese, bell pepper. Actually, all ingredients are optional, this is just a guideline.
• Sour cream on top and it is ready to serve!
• *** Get creative with what ever toppings you have!
• Put as many or as few toppings on the serving table as you like... our table was crowded!
• Little Evie did not eat this whole plate... she divided it onto plates and shared with two other people! We all like different foods... create memories! Play With Your Food! xo
