Tip

Cutting Green Onions

I recently tried a recipe that called for 3/4 cup green onions. Instead of using a knife, I found that snipping the onions with a pair of kitchen scissors took only a few seconds. —Kristy B., Kelowna, British Columbia

I've made this recipe twice now- once with the butter and once without. It was excellent both times! Even my kids who hate potatoes ate it right up! I cooked it in the oven at 350 degrees for about an hour. YUM!
