Originally from Time Life Family Favorites Made Easy  3 lbs small red potatoes, quartered (if you end up with larger potatoes cut into large dice) 2 tablespoons olive oil  8 teaspoons finely minced garlic  1 1/2 teaspoons coarse salt (lately I've just been using kosher salt) 1 teaspoon paprika  1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper  Toss all together. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with vegetable cooking spray. Arrange potatoes on prepared baking sheet. Roast potatoes at 525F degrees for 20 minutes, stirring once or twice during cooking. Raise heat to broil. Broil potatoes until crisp, watching closely not to over brown, about 1-2 minutes.

Mix: 1/2 cup melted butter  1 cup sour cream  1 can cream of chicken soup  Onion powder* (maybe 1/2 teaspoon) 1 cup grated cheddar cheese  Add: Frozen shredded potatoes. (Unfortunately I don't measure, I just eyeball it until it looks like a good cream/potato ratio Spread into a baking dish. Sprinkle top with: Crushed corn flakes  Bake in 350/375F degree oven for 45 minutes. This recipe is very forgiving. If I have something else in the oven I bake the potatoes at the temperature of the other item, as long as it in the 300's. *original recipe calls for chopped green onions but enough people don't like them that I use onion powder instead. I don't measure, I just eyeball it to what looks good to me. The 1/2 teaspoon is approximate.

Mainland style: Layer your crockpot with spinach, crumbled canned corned beef, and thinly sliced onions. Pack it in tight!!! Pour in 2 cans of coconut milk. Turn the crockpot on low for 5-6 hours. Don't be surprised, after it cooks down it will be about half of the pot. Make your family's mouth very happy!!!

Use "texas toast" bread. Butter, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese   and grill on both sides…Enjoy!!
