[Sca-cooks] pot luck--FYI

[johnna holloway]

That frozen potato concoction came about in community
cookbooks in the early-mid '80's and I am positive that
there was probably a recipe that called for shredded
real potatoes that got shortcutted along the way with
the frozen variety. It probably was an award winner for
like Ore-Ida... I mean check out the fact that the
Pillsbury Bake-Off is now a shortcut cookery contest
that doesn't require one to actually produce a baked
item from scratch.
