LOL!!!

This is the version I make. It starts with raw potatoes and I believe
it is worth the effort to use them‹the end result isn't so thick and
mushy as when made with hashbrowns. The recipe may be made in advance,
covered, and refrigerated overnight before baking. Alternatively,
prepare the potatoes and the 'sauce' ingredients and refrigerate them
separately overnight, combining just before baking. The original recipe
included salt but there's plenty of it in the condensed soup and cheese.

Potato Casserole
Posted again to rec.food.cooking by Barb Schaller, 5-12-2009

Serving Size: 8

8 medium potatoes
1/4 cup butter melted (may be omitted or reduced)
1 can cream of chicken soup
2 cups sour cream (16 oz.)
1 bay leaf
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 green onions chopped
2 cups grated cheddar cheese
1/2 cup crushed corn flakes

Cook potatoes in their skins (red potatoes are better) until barely
tender. Cool, peel, and dice in 3/4" pieces. In a bowl, add butter to
soup, stirring until smooth. Blend in sour cream, crumbled bay leaf,
pepper, onions, and 1-1/2 cups of the cheese. Pour over potatoes and
stir gently to blend. Spoon into a buttered 2-1/2 quart casserole.
Bake, covered, for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. Sprinkle remaining cheese
and corn flakes on top, cover, and bake for another 15-30 minutes.
Makes 6-10 servings.

Source and Notes: A neighbor. This dates to the early 1970s. If a
canned condensed soup offends your sensibilities, make 1-1/2 cups thick
white sauce that includes a couple teaspoons of chicken bouillon
granules. If you need to use a lower temperature, increase the baking
time a little bitt.

No green onion either. For some reason Bryan has reserved the lowest
level of Hell for recipes (and the cooks who call for them) with green
onions.

I thought it was something interesting blake, but you're just replying

I, personally, have elevated the "Hell Level" of green onions to
scallions. Lets show some decorum here!

I can't recall ever condemning a recipe for green onions alone, nor
for the use of any other perfectly reasonable ingredient that *I* just
happen not to like. It often happens that slop recipes do include
green onion. It's like air freshener spray. For some folks it covers
up the icky smells/tastes.

No, you don't. You could easily see that any given post was a reply
to a poster whom you do not wish to read. You post crappy margarine
recipes.

It's not a significant comment of mine. I just noticed more than one
complaint about green onion, and it struck me a little strangely.

I guess for *some* folks. For some of those recipes, it was the only
fresh vegetable! I dislike the taste of margarine, and there is almost
nothing that will cover that up. At least in my memory. I don't think
I've eaten margarine on purpose in twenty years. Shortening, however,
has a very neutral taste. It's more of a texture than a taste. I don't
mind it, but, for some reason, I don't remember buying any for many
years.

I always thought that "scallion" was a regional term. They seem to be
used interchangeably many times. I always thought it had three
syllables, too. My computer makes it sound more like two.

Partially hydrogenated veg oil doesn't *taste* bad. As you said, it
is quite neutral. It's the fact that it is a horrible artificial
product that is responsible for lots of CAD. Choosing to use that
crap is like choosing to paint your child's room with lead paint.

Yes. Trans fats kill. Vicious cats generally just injure, unless
they're rabid of course. The concept of "threat to our species" does,
however, extend to any animal that acts violently toward a human,
unless the human has done something unreasonable to provoke it.
My cat is currently hunting a moth. She's awfully cute, and quite
gentle with my wife and son, though he has gotten a few nasty
scratches. Those scratches were not the result of her attacking him,
but from extending her back claws to hold on when she perceived that
she was falling. She gently nips too. It's the kind of bite that
kittens do when playing. There's no viciousness there. My son is the
one who gets scolded for being too rough with her, though from him she
seems to be OK with it, and he's never mean to her, just rough.
I know, way more info than needed. I *do* run on.
