Golden Potato Casserole Ingredients: • 6 medium potatoes • 2 c sour cream • 10 oz shredded sharp cheddar • 1 bunch chopped green onions • 3 tbsp milk • 1 tsp salt • 1/8 tsp pepper • 2 tbsp melted butter • 1/3 c breadcrumbs I've been saving this recipe to share with you for the holidays. It's one of our family favorites. Two of my nephews learned to make it, and according to them, it's a must at a holiday meal. One time my sister made three pans of it when she was expecting a crowd. One of them was gluten-free, so all you need to change is the bread crumb topping. Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease/spray a mini muffin tin. Roll out crescent dough onto floured board or counter to make one long sheet. 2. Cut dough into 24 equal squares. Place squares into muffin tin slots. 3. Cut the brie into small pieces and place inside the squares. Top with a generous spoonful of cranberry sauce, and a little sprig of rosemary. 4. Bake about 15 minutes until dough is light golden brown. Serve warm. Note: Some people like to cut the rind off the brie. It's not necessary, but do so if you wish. Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange phyllo shells on cookie sheet. 2. Cut brie into mini teaspoon-size bites. Place one piece in each phyllo shell. 3. Combine pecans, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon. Stir to combine and spoon topping onto phyllo shells. 4. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Enjoy!
