Well… I have made and tasted a lot of potato dishes. But none of them compare to the creamy and salty taste of this one. The curious thing about this creamy potato dish is that I have never succeeded in making too much. For the portion shown in the picture, which I thought by far would be too much for 8 people, I used almost 7 lbs of potatoes. That is a lot, as anyone who has ever tried peeling such an amount will attest to! I was convinced that there would be leftovers, but by the end of the night there was nothing left.

It’s impossible for me to choose which one was my favorite, because they were both very very good, but my own version is closest to the one my grandma Agnes, on my mom’s side, used to make. Each time I take a spoonful of this mouthwateringly…

The bunny takes it all
I’m not a great fan of cakes that look great but have little taste. This cake that I made for an easter dinner is a winner in both taste and presentation, yet, it is pretty easy to make. If you look at the picture, you can see that I was not the only one who thought the cake was tasty. The bunny dived right into the middle of the carrot cake and ate all the cheese frosting!
