Meet the Cook: At our house, this is a regular - it's as much fun to fix as it is to eat! (Sometimes, we even make extras of the potatoes to serve as appetizers.) Since it's so thick, it's great for potlucks as well. My husband and I frequently team up in the kitchen. We're the parents of two young daughters, ages 4 and 1. -Mara Beaumont, South Milwaukee, Wisconsin
