Always a crowd-pleaser, Silk Purse Potatoes (As in “Can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear.”) have a delicious, creamy cheese sauce. I’ve taken this dish to many a potluck.

SERVINGS: 6-8

CATEGORY: Side Dish

METHOD: Baked

TIME: Prep: 15 min. Bake: 1-1/2 hours

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter

  • 6 medium potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
