Best Cindys Potatoes Recipes

CINDY'S BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Arrange bacon slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and crisp, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and transfer 1 to 2 tablespoons bacon grease to a skillet, reserving the remaining bacon grease. Add butter to skillet.
• Cook and stir potatoes in the hot bacon grease-butter until lightly browned, about 10 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. Transfer potatoes to the prepared baking dish.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon reserved bacon grease in the skillet over medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms until softened, 5 to 10 minutes. Layer mushrooms over potatoes.
• Place green onions in the same skillet and remove from heat. Allow green onions to soften from the residual heat in skillet; layer over mushrooms. Crumble bacon over green onion layer; top with 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Blend eggs, milk, and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth; pour over Cheddar cheese layer. Top casserole with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until casserole is set and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.

CINDY'S POTATOES

Steps:

• Put hash browns in a 9x13 pan. Add salt and pepper and cream of chicken soup and mix thoroughly.
• Saute the chopped onions using the stick of butter. Once done pour into potatoes and mix thoroughly.
• Spread sour cream on top and then cover with shredded cheese. Bake 1 hour and 15 mins at 300. If you double the recipe bake longer until done.
• You can be creative with this recipe. My sister likes to put crushed corn flakes on top. I sometimes add green peppers to the sauted onions. Enjoy:)

CINDY'S AWESOME CLAM CHOWDER

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisped and browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon, leaving the drippings in the pot. Set the bacon aside. Stir the potatoes and carrots into the bacon fat. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Pour the juice from the clams into the pot, and add enough water to just cover the potatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Gently stir the leek soup mix into the potatoes until no lumps of soup remain. Stir in the clams, reserved bacon, and half-and-half cream. Cook and stir until the chowder returns to a simmer and thickens, about 10 minutes more.
