NOT YOUR GRANDMOTHER'S POTATO CASSEROLE

Remember when I found this thrift store find?  Well, here is the first recipe and it was a resounding success. 

When I actually made this recipe I realized it really was my grandmother's recipe.  One that was undoubtedly passed around bymany women at neighborhood coffee clatches, tupperware parties and PTA meetings.  I did update it a bit and hubby can't seem to get enough of it.
