NOTES : "This homey potato side dish harks back to my ranch kitchen in Montana where my husband and I raised four sons and a daughter. Hearty eaters, they always spooned up big servings of this casserole. Cutting the potatoes into sticks is a nice change. -Marie Hoyer, Hodgenville, Kentucky" Recipe by: Taste of Home, August/September, 1997 Posted to MC-Recipe Digest V1 #1020 by NGavlak <NGavlak@...> on Jan 17, 1998
