I've got lots of potatos, sour cream, mushrooms and a chardonnay

[HereSince1628]

I am thinking its stuffed potato pancakes for supper.

I am thinking about stuffing pancakes made from fresh coarsely grated potato with a filling of chopped portabello mushroom, sauteed in butter with green onion, and crushed garlic then mixed with sour cream and black pepper...

Any other suggestions?

1. Nope, that sounds like it can't be improved upon

Bon appetit.

2. That sounds great!

If you're feeling adventurous, add some nutmeg. Not a lot, but a little will give a nice additional level of complexity.

5. Lithuanian Kugelis!

Here's a recipe from the web. It sounds very much like how I make it except I don't use any butter and probably use less bacon. And I don't bother peeling the spuds. My folks used to make small batches and bake in a cast iron fry pan or dutch oven. Large batches can be made in a roasting pan.

Kugelis - Potato Pudding
5 lbs. potatoes, peeled and grated (or grind with food processor)
2 med. onions, grated
1 lb. bacon, fried and crumbled (reserve about 1/4 cup drippings)
1 stick of butter, melted
6 eggs
1 lg. can evaporated milk
4 tsp. salt
pepper to taste (I use about a tsp)


Peel and grate or grind (fine disc) potatoes and onions. Do not drain.

Fry and crumble bacon, add to potatoes and onions, along with 1/4 cup drippings. Mix well.

Beat well 6 eggs, add evaporated milk, melted butter , salt and pepper, and mix well.

Add egg mixture to potato mixture, and mix together.

Pour into a well greased 9x13 cake pan (yes, it'll fit--barely)

Bake at 350 degrees for 90 minutes.

Slice into squares, and top with sour cream (applesauce is also good)

Leftovers are best reheated sliced thin and sauteed. It also reheats well in the microwave. It freezes well.
