Ingredients

2 cups chopped potatoes

1 (24 ounce) container tomato juice

2 (6.5 ounce) cans hash brown gravy

1 (8 ounce) package sliced cooked ham

1 (16 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained

1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste

Directions

In a large pot, combine potatoes, tomato juice, gravy, ham and mushrooms. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; saute all three vegetables for 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook over medium heat for about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cooked potatoes, tomato juice, mustard and ham, stir. Cover and continue to heat on low for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in mustard and heavy cream. Heat through by stirring pasta mixture and ¾ cup boiling water as needed until fork tender.

I read somewhere that potato tests are not needed because babies love them. I took this advice and ran with it! I had extra baked potato shells, scraping the wet ground potato off the cob, and because I didn't put the tarts back in the pan when cooked, they fell into the bottom of the baking dish rather easily. I baked extra potatoes because I had 2 left over heads, and they were not stewed or broiled -- they were perfectly fine - but I did not like them, and thought they were probably better off sitting overnight in the fridge. The next day when I broke up the potatoes, they were perfectly fine, and everyone recognized them! It took me a lot longer to write this note, but the end result was worth it. Thank you for this idea/recipe!

Recipe author Bates said of the first part, "I didn't slice nor dice (like Pats), so the kids got the distinct sensation that this was a potato bomb." I immediately thought this was excess potato salad, so I did not add the water, and the next time I made it, I omitted the white part of the potato (I was afraid of the reaction the salad would have had if it were not for the extra potatoes). The spices I used were just right, and complimented nicely on the fresh baked, little side dishes I used. A big pot luck the next day with roasted potatoes, onion and butter!!!

When I baked potatoes, I would add chicken seasoning to the baked potatoes and then fry them in 1-1/4lb. chunks in an oiled skillet. Just like Crock-Pot Chicken, the roasted veggies absorb the flavor and they become softer on the inside. MY LATEST VIDEOS
