When I served myself, my first thought was, "Wow, that's a lot of potatoes." Jonathan said that it needed more cheese. Mary said that if she were to make it again, she would be fine with adding more cheese to the meat mixture if that would make Jonathan happy, but that she would also use shredded hash browns instead of diced hash browns. On the whole, this was not one of our favorites. However, as the conversation kept returning to the overabundance of potatoes, we delved deeper into that issue until it was discovered that Mary had accidentally used almost twice the amount of hash browns than the recipe called for. She was in a hurry and, instead of measuring, she just dumped in what she thought was about the right amount going by the serving size/number of servings per package from the nutrition label on the hash brown package. In the words of Hamlet, "Ay, there's the rub." If you try this recipe, please measure the potatoes.
I apologize for neglecting my blog for the past two weeks. We were out of town the first week, and a late trip to Wichita Falls kept us from trying a recipe the following week. Tonight was good. I got back to my blog and I learned something new - that Skittles really likes potatoes.
