Hash Brown Scallop

1 (16 oz.) pkg. hash browns, or leftover baked or boiled potatoes, shredded
1 c. sharp Cheddar cheese, shredded
1 chicken bouillon cube
1/2 c. boiling water

Combine potatoes and some onion, if desired. Put in greased, flat pan. Dissolve bouillon and pour over potatoes. Bake, covered, at 325° for 30 minutes. Cover with cheese and bake, uncovered, 1 or 2 minutes longer, until cheese melts. Yield: 6 servings.

This recipe is easy to double, triple, or cut in half, depending on how many you feed. Watch the amount of cheese then. It could get to be too much.

Dell Hoff

Potato Dumplings

Finely shred raw potatoes, (8 makes about 12 dumplings). Add flour to potatoes by the handful, until mixture has the consistency of dough. Mix in a palm of salt. Drop dumplings into boiling ham juice*. Boil 20 minutes. Serve hot, with butter.

*Ham juice – leftover ham bone boiled in water, or ham hocks cooked the same way.

With leftovers, fry in butter, cut up for breakfast. Makes a great potato side with eggs.

Potato Dumplings

6 med. potatoes
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1 c. (or more) flour
Cook potatoes; mash or rice them. When cooled, combine with egg, salt, and enough flour to make firm balls. Place balls in boiling water and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Especially good with homemade chicken soup.
