"Official Contest Entry: Simply Potatoes 5Fix. I enjoy this recipe because you can combine your vegetable and starch components into one dish. This recipe came from trying to use leftover mashed potatoes. I always have reserved bacon drippings that I keep in my refrigerator but butter can be substituted."
