Re: [CnD] UPDATED SHEPHERD'S PIE From Marilyn
I once made a casserole of mashed potatoes made the way my aunt used to make them, which was with butter, sour cream, and cream cheese. I used the largest casserole I had in the house, and it was totally full and hot from the oven. I took them to a Baha'i function. I was going to get some for myself - but they were all gone!

Re: [CnD] Home Fried Potatoes Recipe
Probably potatoes are best fried in a pan that has a good lid available. So you get one side fried. Place the lid on the pan and get your oven mits on for the next action. Pick the pan up off the burner and move it over counter space away from the stove. Now hold the lid on real tight and flip the pan and lid so the lid is on the bottom. Put everything on the counter so the lid does not fall over. You may need a couple plates so a handle on the lid can fit between. Next lift the pan off and put it back on the burner. Then get the potatoes already flipped into the lid and gently slide each back into the pan making sure the crisp sides are face up. Alternatively leave everything in the pan and start flipping with spatula and feel the tops of whatever gets flipped. It's possible to miss some that way but that's the normal way to handle this job.

Then, top with corn, add gravy/soup, and top with mashed potatoes. I've never tried it with cheese yet. If you want the potatoes to be crispy on top, don't cover with foil.
